There is an image of this
cultivar on the
Hosta Library. From the photo on the HL website, it
appears to be a giant size hosta with light green leaves
and dark green medial (center) variegation on some, but
not all, of the foliage. It is a hybrid of H. 'Big John'. Lavender flowers bloom
on tall scapes. This non-registered cultivar was
originated by
Virginia and Brian Skaggs of Indiana.
Xanthippe
was an ancient Athenian, the wife of Socrates and mother of
their three sons.
