of Minnesota in 2016, this upright, small size (8
inches high by 12 inches wide) cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Sea
Lightning'. The leaves are medium green with creamy
white streaked variegation. Its foliage is lanceolate,
relatively flat and dull on top with petioles that are
also streaked. Pale purple flowers with white stripes
bloom from mid-July into August on burgundy colored scapes up to 30 inches tall. Blooms are followed by
burgundy colored seed pods.
The registration materials state: "Rippled, slightly
wavy leaves are heavily streaked green and white.
Streaks run all the way down the petiole."
Almost included some
information about Superman's (or Clark Kent's) love
interest...but then took a second look at the name of
this hosta. |
