Hosta 'Peter Ruh'

A reversed, tissue culture sport of H. 'Paul's Glory', this hosta was registered by Mark Zilis of Illinois and Q&Z Nursery in 2003. It forms a large size (24 inches high by 50 inches wide) mound that has medium to dark green foliage with golden-yellow marginal variegation. The broadly ovate leaves are moderately corrugated and have a glaucous bloom on the top and bottom.

It bears pale lavender flowers which bloom from mid-July into August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "I named this cultivar to honor my good friend, Peter Ruh of Ohio, who has long been a leader in the world of hostas.".




   

Oops! Sure looks as if the green plant below is labeled as H. 'Peter Ruh'. Unfortunately, the actual 'Peter Ruh' is the one shown above. So, don't always believe the labels even at The American Hosta Society Hosta Display Gardens. - Mr PGC
