Hosta 'Made from Scratch'

 

Stuart Asch of Michigan registered this seedling of H. 'Dorothy Benedict' in 2005. The plant grows to a medium size 15 inches high by 36 inches wide. Its green foliage has a creamy white marginal variegation with some streaking in the center. Leaves are broadly ovate, somewhat unruly and have thick substance. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.

The originator made the following comment on the Fraternal Order of Seedy Fellows website: "This is one beautiful plant. In production at Walter's Garden. Wide creamy borders surround a deep blue-green center on the twisted leaves. Medium size mound with densely packed leaves make this hosta a sight to see. Larger leaves are a pleasant combination of waves, cupping and corrugation."
