Hosta 'Candle Glow'
 

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.
