This non-registered cultivar is a
tissue culture sport of H. 'Patriot's
Fire' from
Mark Zilis of Illinois. The pale green foliage has a mottled white medial
(center) variegation. It is a large size plant about 18
inches high by 45 inches wide whose leaves are ovate,
faintly corrugated and of average substance. It bears
lavender flowers from July into August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...we were disappointed in its growth rate in the
garden. A few plants made it to collectors and still
exist."
