Hosta 'King of Buchanan'

 

Registered by Mike Groothuis of Michigan in 2019, this small to medium size (11 inches high by 14 inches wide) cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Sissy's Siberian Eyes' × {( H. 'Niagara Falls' × H. 'Jean Harlow') × [(H. nigrescens × H. 'Blue Whirls') × (H. nigrescens × H. hypoleuca)]}. It is a medium green colored hosta with a pale yellow marginal variegation.

The broadly ovate leaves are slightly wavy, slightly shiny on top, slightly twisted and slightly corrugated. Near white flowers with pale lavender stripes bloom from late June into July on scapes 40 to 48 inches tall. It sets viable seeds in green pods.

The registration materials state: "...Wide veins and striking color contrast between the wide cream/yellow margins and green centers (especially on a plant this large)...margins fade from  pale yellow to creamy white later in the season."
