A
hybrid of an F2 seedling of H.
'William Lachman' x
H. pycnophylla, this
cultivar was originated by
Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts and registered on his behalf in 2009 by
Kevin Walek (Hosta Registrar). The large size hosta grows
to about 22 inches high and spreads to
46 inches in width. Its foliage is slightly wavy, slightly
rippled, very lightly corrugated and ovate with smooth
texture. The petioles are medium to dark green with red dots. Its pale purple flowers bloom on red dotted scapes
starting from mid-July into August and it sets viable seeds.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Kevin Vaughn named this superior
cultivar for his mother. Not only does it offer attractively
variegated foliage, but it has a fast growth rate, an
interesting flower habit, and good durability in the garden. It
certainly belongs on any list of the top 100 hostas."
