Originated by
Joanna
Kovalcsik of Michigan and registered by her in
2022,
this cultivar is an upright, fast growing,
open-pollinated seedling of H. 'Red
Dragon'. This is a medium size (15 inches high by 29
inches wide) with medium green, lanceolate foliage that
is heavily rippled, slightly twisted and moderately wavy
with very long, twisted leaf tips that bend downward.
From
August into early September, this hosta bears medium lavender flowers that
have purple margins outside and are white on the inside
with medium lavender centers. They set seeds but their
viability was not known at the time of registration.
Scapes are reddish purple with olive green bracts and
stand 15 to 21 inches tall.
The registration materials state: "Elliptical
reddish-purple scapes emerge from a clump of
white-backed, long-tipped, ruffled green foliage. Ample
flowers with pointy tepals show off the temperature
sensitive purple edges...lightly twisted and moderately
wavy overall with very long leaf tips that tend to bend
downward, slightly twist & curve. Mature leaves can show
some rugosity down the mid-rib." |
