Registered by
Paul Lehnard and the originator
Joanna
Kovalcsik of Michigan
in
2020,
this slow growing cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Gentle
Giant' ×
H. 'Pebble Creek GPS'. It is an upright, giant
size hosta about 29 inches high by 29 inches wide.
The
nearly round leaves are light blue-green in the spring
but darken to medium blue-green later. They are deeply
cupped, moderately corrugated and have a short up-turned
leaf tip. Near white flowers with light lavender stripes
and translucent margins bloom from late June into July
on scapes 37 to 42 inches tall followed by viable seeds
in green pods. The
registration materials state: "Rounded and deeply
cupped blue-green leaves reminiscent of an old-fashioned
basin." According to
Joanna, "I gifted this seedling to Paul Lenhard, it has matured in
his garden, and he chose the name. We thought the large
round leaves looked like an old-fashioned sink (basin.)."
