There is an image of this
cultivar on the
Hosta Library. From the photo on the HL website, it
appears to be a medium size hosta with dark green leaves
and an irregular yellow medial (center) variegation. The
petioles have red dots. This non-registered cultivar was
originated in Japan by
Hisashi.
Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled,
A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term iwa as rock, Iwa Gibōshi or
H. longipes and the term nakafu as medio-variegated. |
