An article about H. 'Reiko' by Akira Horinaka in
The
Hosta Journal (2006 Vol. 37 No. 1) says, "H.
'Reiko', which has some of the most beautiful leaves I have ever seen...is a
medium-sized hybrid cultivar that maintains its coloring throughout the season.
It has a large leaf with white variegation. It has been one of the
highest-priced hostas, rivaling 'Reiho'...It
is a strong grower and keeps its beautiful leaves well into November."
