Originated in Japan, this non-registered cultivar is a sport of
H.
kikutii polyneuron. It is a small size hosta
with green foliage that has a white marginal
variegation.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "The cultivar name indicates that this plant was found on
Shikoku Island in Japan, but I can see no obvious
difference from 'Shirofukurin Sudare'..." Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled,
A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term shirofukurin or shiro fukurin as white-edge(d) or
white-margin(ed). |
