Originated by
Jeff
Miller of Land of the Giants Hosta Farm in Wisconsin but registered by
Marlene Rosenberg of Uniquely Hostas in
Wisconsin in 2016, this
small size (8 inches high by 21 inches wide) cultivar
is a hybrid of H. 'Curly
Fries' ×
H. 'Riptide'.
The leaves are medium green
with creamy white marginal variegation. Its foliage is
deeply folded, wavy, lanceolate, heavily rippled and
slightly shiny on top. Pale purple flowers with dark
purple stripes bloom from mid-August thru September on
scapes up to 33 inches tall followed by purple seed
pods.
The registration
materials state: "Maintains small size & wavy edges.
Topped with extremely tall scapes and dark striped
flowers."
The
Hosta Journal (2018 Vol. 49 No. R) states that this
cultivar was originally incorrectly registered as
unidentified parentage but should show that it is a hybrid of
H. 'Curly Fries' ×
H. 'Riptide'.
