This is a medium size (18
inches high by 40 inches wide) seedling of H. 'Alba' is a non-registered cultivar from
Alex Summers of Delaware. The
medium green foliage is narrowly ovate, slightly
corrugated and very shiny on the bottom with thin
substance. Pure white flowers bloom in August.
Schmid
(1991) says that this was originated by "Lewis" and was
one of the many hostas known as No. 159 in the
collection of Alex Summers who received plants from
sources in many countries. We strongly suspect that the
originator was
Alan Lewis
of England.
