Hosta 'Kiwi Splash'
 

This cultivar is a sport of H. 'Francee' and is part of the "Kiwi Series" of hostas from Barry Sligh of Taunton Gardens in New Zealand. It was registered in 1999. The medium size plant stands about 16 inches high with a spread of 35 inches. Its green foliage has white marginal variegation with streaks of green and white. Pale lavender flowers bloom from late July into August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...makes a colorful mound of streaky foliage, but it often reverts to 'Francee'...must be constantly culled to maintain the true plant...I suspect it will go the way of 'Counter Point', 'High Fat Cream', and 'Flamboyant' and be a non-viable cultivar."
