This
sport of H. 'Striptease' was registered
by
Bob
Whitmore of Indiana in 2002. Unlike its mother plant, 'Tassels' has highly variable
foliage color. Some leaves hare heavily streaked and mottled while some are gold
colored with dark green streaks and yellow mottling.
This cultivar forms a large
size (20 inches high) mound of slightly wavy, smooth textured foliage of average
substance. It bears pale lavender flowers from mid-July into August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Individual leaves...are some of the prettiest that I've ever
seen in a hosta."
