Registered by Dr. Doug and Mardy Beilstein of Ohio in 2009, this
small size (7 inches high by 20 inches wide) cultivar is a hybrid of H. 'Atom Smasher'.
The medium green foliage is lanceolate, slightly folded,
slightly rippled and slightly shiny on top. Tubular
flowers bloom from mid-August into September on scapes
22 to 24 inches tall. According to the registration materials: "...vary long narrow leaves unlike any other
hosta, edges begin ruffled and smooth out with
season.. ." The
originator made the following comment on the
Fraternal Order
of Seedy Fellows website: "I've always thought that
we ought to have a hosta that looked like grass, at
least lirope, and now I have one. This F2 out of Atom
Smasher has long narrow leaves. The edges start ruffled
and with maturity smooth out. A fun little hosta. Not in
production. "
