This
dark green hosta is a non-registered cultivar
from Bev and Dave Stegeman of Indiana. It is a hybrid of H. 'Sagae' ×
H. 'Leather Sheen'. The plant is large size growing to a height of
around 24 inches with a spread of about 55 inches. Its leaves
are very broadly ovate, unruly and moderately corrugated. Very
pale purple flowers bloom from late June into July.
We
are guessing that this cultivar was named for a type of
battleship. That, however, is spelled with an "o" as in
dreadnought.
