The cross of H. 'Halcyon' × H. 'Blue Dimples' resulted in this cultivar which was registered by
Frank Nyikos of Walnut Grove Nursery in Indiana in 2002. It has Tardiana-type foliage with thick
substance on the medium size (11 inches high by 24 inches wide) mound. The very pale lavender
flowers bloom in July but rarely sets seeds.
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Best in a container in a sheltered position where
the leaf color will hold well throughout the summer...The flowers are often
deformed, the stamens and pistil being distorted."
