Originated
by
ill Meyer of Connecticut but registered on his
behalf by AHS/G. H. Alley in
2020,
this fast growing cultivar is
a
sport of H. 'Parky's Prize'.
It is a small to medium size (13 inches high by 36
inches wide) with moderate bluish-green (126A RHS
Colour Chart) foliage that has a moderate yellow-green (146C RHS
Colour Chart) marginal variegation. The broadly ovate leaves
are slightly cupped and slightly shiny on top. Medium
lavender flowers bloom from June into July on scapes
about 22 inches tall. It is considered "very reluctant
to set pods."
The registration materials state: "...Quick to form
a symmetrical clump of thick heart shaped leaves. Very
wide margins draw the eye from a distance." From the
Field Guide to Hostas by Mark Zilis (2014), "Very few hostas come close to it in the ratio of a wide gold
margin to a narrow green center and still perform well in the
garden...combines nicely with 'Birchwood
Parky's Gold'...'Parky's
Prize', and 'Sweet
Home Chicago' in the landscape."
