Registered by Jeroen Linneman
of the Netherlands in
2018,
this upright growing cultivar is a giant size (39 inches
high by 110 inches wide) seedling of H. 'Valley's
Streaked Goose' ×
H. 'Empress Wu'. It is a blue-green hosta with
yellow to creamy white streaked variegation. The leaves
are broadly ovate, mostly flat and dull on top with
petioles that have the same streaking pattern. Near
white flowers bloom from June into July on scapes up to
51 inches tall followed by viable seeds in streaked
pods.
The registration materials state: "...Like its pod
parent (streaked H. sieboldiana ‘Elegans' type),
it has huge streaked leaves and makes a good breeder for
big-leaved, streaked hostas...blue turns more green and
the streaks get more white later in the season."
