Hosta 'Banana Sundae'

A sport of a H. 'Fortunei' seedling, this plant was registered by Eldren Minks of Minnesota in 1980. It grows into a small size hosta about 8 inches tall with a spread of around 28 inches. The bright green leaves have a creamy white medial (center) variegation that is heavily streaked. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...its tendency to sport to a very slow-growing white-centered form led to its demise as a viable cultivar...is also in the background of three other Lachman plants, 'Eventide', 'Hampshire County', and 'Shadow Waltz'."
