Hosta 'Lake Tekapo'
 

Originated by Jan van den Top of the Netherlands, this non-registered cultivar is a hybrid of H. 'Secret Thoughts'. It has blue-green foliage with a wide creamy white marginal variegation. The clump grows to a medium size with leaves about 3 inches wide that come to a point at the tip. Its flowers are lavender in color. Although not noted as a fragrant hosta, it does have that trait in its background with H. 'Fragrant Blue' being the mother plant of H. 'Secret Thoughts'.

Lake Tekapo is a small town located at the southern end of the lake of the same name in the inland South Island of New Zealand.
