This giant size (35 inches high) hosta was registered by
Julia Geissler of Nebraska in 1970. Its foliage is moderately wavy and elliptic-ovate shaped with
good substance. Pale lavender flowers open in July.
According to
The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000), "...unidentified parentage, but it has many
characteristics in common with 'Fortunei Gigantea' in both
foliage and flower."
"AHS
Eunice Fisher Award, 1973...A large H. montana form. Many
similar forms exist and have been named and most conform in part
to the diagnosis of H. montana macrophylla."
There is a cultivar with the French name 'Les
Arpents Verts' which means Green Acres.
