This
is an old, non-registered cultivar that is found in two forms in
the nursery trade. One form has
H.
nakaiana
in its background and forms a mound about 10 inches high with a spread of 30 inches.
It has ovate shaped, slightly wavy foliage that has a smooth
texture and average substance. The pale purple flowers bloom
starting in late June.
According to
The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000), "The more commonly grown
form is related to H. nakaiana
and described here." Hosta Helper will call this plant
'Rock Princess' (Larger Type)
