Originated by Alttara
Scheer of Connecticut, this fast growing, non-registered cultivar is of unidentified parentage. It is a medium size, very upright
hosta with medium green, slightly cupped leaves. The long
petioles are reddish in color. It bears dark purple
flowers in August. The
originator made the following comment on the
Fraternal Order
of Seedy Fellows website: "H. 'Scallion
Pancakes' is a small plant with a large presence, it
stands out from the crowd with a distinct architectural
form. Not the typical shape of a small plant, it holds
each flat oval leaf straight up and out from the red
petioles, showing soft white backs. Good substance, fast
growth, pretty dark purple flared bell-shaped flowers en
masse starting in mid August, nicely in scale with the
foliage. Highly fertile with many stout purple pods.
Available from Naylor Creek Nursery."
