Originated by
Viktoria Serafin
of Glenbrook Farm in New York, this non-registered cultivar is of unidentified
parentage. It is a small size hosta with
green foliage. Its leaves are moderately wavy at the
edges, slightly corrugated and the clump is a bit
unruly.
According
to the originator, "Limpet is named for my
grandchildren. Thick, leathery leaves that are shiny on
both sides. It forms a small, flat mound. Sun brings out
a bright golden color; and it's apple-green in the
shade. It's been a good grower and I don't know if it's
fertile as it hasn't bloomed yet for me."
A limpet is a marine mollusk with a shallow
conical shell and a broad muscular foot, found clinging
tightly to rocks. |
