A non-registered cultivar from
Ron Livingston of Michigan, this plant is a hybrid of H. 'Atom Smasher' × H. 'Stilleto'. It forms a small size
(7 inches high by 20 inches wide) plant with heavily rippled
green foliage. The leaves are very narrowly elliptic with
serrated margins. Lavender flowers bloom from July into
August followed by
viable seeds.
The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack
(2010) says: "Good sun tolerance ensures a vigorous growth rate
and a bright color, although it may grow bigger than expected."
This
cultivar won the 2003 William and Eleanor Lachman Award at the
First Look hosta competition as the best seedling as chosen by the AHS
Judges.
