This is a sport of H. 'Funky
Monkey' originated by
Naylor Creek
Nursery of Washington and
Marco
and Joyce Fransen of the Netherlands. It is a
medium size (16 inches tall by 24 inches wide) hosta
with leaves that emerge apple-green with a rippled
yellow marginal variegation that turns white later in
the summer. This very upright plant has purple colored
petioles. Pale lavender flowers bloom from August to
September followed by viable seeds.
The NH Hostas websited
states that it, "...differs from 'Monkey
Business' in the colors of the leaf...Very unique
hosta with rubbery leaves." |
