A hybrid of H. 'Flamboyant' × H. venusta, this cultivar was registered by
Alex Malloy of New York in 1998. The mound of very wavy foliage grows to a small size about 6 inches high and
20 inches wide. Its purple flowers bloom in July followed by
ivory colored seedpods.
The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack
(2010) says: "Can take a few hours of sun in cooler climates.
Looks good in troughs, trays, and toward the front of a raised bed."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "The leaf blade widens considerably as the plant
matures and the attractive twist is lost...The leaves are
distinctively arrow-shaped."
