This Tardiana-type
hosta was
registered in 2003 by
Peter Ruh of Ohio on behalf of the originator,
Heinz Klose from Germany. Its
16 inch high mound spreads to a width of about 48 inches. The
foliage is ovate, deeply veined and has a thick underside bloom.
It also has thick, slug-resistant substance. Near white flowers
bloom in dense clusters in July followed by viable seeds.
