This large size
(18 inches high by 34 inches wide),
cultivar of unidentified parentage was originated by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan
and was registered on his behalf by Rod Kuenster of Iowa in 2010.
It is an
H. 'Sieboldiana'-type of hosta with medium green foliage that has a
creamy yellow colored marginal variegation. the foliage
is lightly cupped, slightly wavy, broadly ovate and
slightly shiny on top. Near white flowers in dense
clusters bloom from mid-July into August followed by red
seed pods.
According to the registration information, "...Herb's
nickname for Fred Wilson..."
We think this
refers to
the husband of hosta hybridizer,
Audra Wilson of Iowa.
