this giant size (33 inches high by 48 inches wide) cultivar is a seedling of
"Beilstein
Elslager Seedling" ×
H. 'Elatior'. The medium green foliage has a soft
yellow marginal variegation early in the season. Its
broadly ovate leaves are slightly wavy, slightly
corrugated and slightly shiny on top and bottom. In
July, pale lavender flowers bloom on scapes 48 to 50
inches tall followed by viable seeds. The
registration materials state: "Joyous hosta that
extends its leaves outward as to accept every drop of
rain. The variable width margins start off a soft yellow
and gradually become a beautiful soft white...soft
yellow margins early turn soft white later in the
season." |
