A cultivar of unidentified parentage,
this cultivar was originated by
David Stone of Connecticut and registered on
his behalf by Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1987. The miniature size plant grows to
only 5 inches in height by 13 inches wide. Its green colored
foliage is narrow and wavy. Purple flowers bloom in August.
This
cultivar was named for
Pauline Banyai's granddaughter.
In
The
Hosta Journal (1992 Vol. 23 No. 1) there is an article by Peter Ruh about the so-called David Stone Medium or Miniature hostas which went by a numbering system that started with
DSM. This
cultivar was called DSM #19 and was described as "Small, leaves
medium-green, lanced-shaped, wavy edge. Strong compact grower, flowers
pink-purple."
