Hosta 'Prince of Darkness'
 

Jim Schwarz of Jim's Hostas of Iowa (now owned by Uniquely Hostas of Wisconsin) registered this medium size (16 inches high by 29 inches wide) upright growing seedling of unidentified parentage in 2009. It has dark green foliage with a creamy white medial (center) variegation. The leaves are slightly shiny on top, broadly ovate and cupped. Near white, tubular flowers with pale lavender stripes bloom during August. It sets viable seeds. The center of the leaf is albescent meaning that it turns whiter as the season progresses.
