This cultivar is a sport
of H. 'Mighty Mouse' which was
discovered by
Maria Martinez and
registered by
Walters Gardens,
Inc. of Michigan in 2013. It is a small size plant which grows to about 7
inches in height with a spread of around 14 inches.
The slightly blue-green
foliage has a wide, creamy white marginal variegation. Its leaves are broadly
ovate, intensely wavy and dull on top. The medium lavender, bell-shaped flowers
bloom from June into July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...have not seen in a collection or garden; not available
for sale; may no longer exist."
Obviously
a hosta by this name exists
since it was registered in 2013.
(Or, it is probably a totally different plant from the
one mentioned by Zilis.)
