Eldren
Minks of Fairway Enterprises in Minnesota registered
this cultivar in 1990 as an
open-pollinated seedling of H. 'Fascination'. It grows
into a medium size hosta with a height of 16 inches
and a spread
of 32 inches. Although the specimen shown above must have
reverted to the all-green form, it is supposed to have heavily streaked foliage. The
flowers are medium lavender in color and bloom in late July.
