This
tissue culture sport of H. 'Candy Hearts' was
originated by
Steve Moldovan of Moldovan Gardens in Ohio and registered by
Peter and Jean Ruh of Ohio in 2008. The
plant grows into a medium size hosta about 15 inches in height and 3 feet wide with a
somewhat unruly nature. Its leaves are ovate shaped and have
thick substance. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Increases rapidly...Divide regularly to maintain
the width of the variegation...Probably the first hosta to have a muted
butterscotch-yellow central variegation (at its best it is in the "hand print"
pattern), but quite random in width."
