						  An open-pollinated seedling of H. 'Elegans', this 
cultivar was originally credited to 
				Paul Aden of New York. 
Recently, its status has been changed to "unidentified originator " and it was 
registered by Mark Zilis of Illinois in 2010.   The foliage is medium blue-green which changes 
to dark green by mid-summer. A large size plant, it grows to 26 inches 
				in height and a massive 92 inches wide at maturity. The leaves are 
				heavily corrugated, slightly wavy, moderately twisted and have thick substance. 
				Its tubular, near white flowers bloom in late June  
and set viable seeds. According to
				The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...disappeared from 
				nursery lists sometime during the 1980s...it was rumored to be 
				the same as 'Big Mama'...a few nurseries have begun offering it 
				again..."
