This cultivar was registered by Maria Plater-Zyberk and Bob Solberg of Green Hill Farm in North Carolina in 1994. According to
The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000), it is "...listed as a
sport of 'August
Moon' but no doubt a seedling;..."
This large size (16
to 20 inches high by 24 inches wide)
mound has leaves that are very wavy along the margins and have a
long, curved tip with good substance. It bears whitish flowers from late July into August
on scapes up to 30 inches tall.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...is a good
example of the difference between waves and ripples in a
hosta...Ripples are much smaller, usually with many more per edge."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Should tolerate morning sun. An eye-catching hosta
which needs careful placing...Exaggerated rippling almost distorts the leaf
shape."
