This cultivar is a
seedling of a seedling of H. 'Dorothy Benedict' which was registered by
Dr. Ed Elslager of Michigan in 2002. It is a giant size (32
inches high by 49 inches wide) hosta with an upright
growth habit. The leaves are dark green with a creamy
white marginal variegation. Near white flowers bloom
from mid-June into July on scapes up to 40 inches in
height.
Don't confuse
this one with H. 'Edge of Night'.
Actually, it seems curious that both of these cultivar
names were approved for registration since they are so
close in spelling.
