 This
slow growing cultivar was registered by
Hans Hansen
and
Shady Oaks Nursery of Minnesota in 2004 and given a U.S. patent in 2006. It is a sport of H. 'Choo Choo Train' which
becomes a large size (24 inches high by 68 inches wide) mound of rippled foliage that produces near
white flowers from June into July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...only negative may be that in
deeply shaded situations, the colors tend to be a bit muted, but
that is easily avoided by siting it properly."
