of a white centered, H. 'Fortunei' from

be distributed by the Midwest Regional Hosta Society's
2003 meeting in St. Louis. When it was put into
tissue culture to produce the needed number of plants, it
sported to another form which was called H. 'Show
Me'. That was the plant that attendee actually
received.

giant size plant about 30 inches high by 53 inches wide
with dark green foliage that has a narrow medial
(center) variegation. Pale lavender flowers bloom in
July.
