In
1990, Bob Kuk of Kuk's Forest in Ohio registered this hybrid of H. 'Dorothy Benedict' × H. 'Northern Lights'.
It is a medium size hosta (12 inches high by 17 inches wide) with creamy
yellow to white margins and dark green centers. Pale lavender
flowers bloom from late July into August on scapes up to 30
inches tall.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "This cultivar honors one of the most distinguished
members of The American Hosta Society. Since the mid-1980s,
Van
Wade of Wade and Gatton Nursery (Closed 2019) of Ohio has
developed the largest hosta
collection in the world, covering more than five acres with
over 3,000 types on display...Though it is a hybrid of two H. 'Sieboldiana'-types, it bears pale lavender flowers that
are produced about a month later than either of its listed
parents."
