Bill Silvers of Georgia registered this
tissue culture sport of H. 'American Sweetheart' in 2008.
It grows into a large size hosta about 23 inches in height and 42 inches in width. Pale lavender
blooms appear in mid-July. This is a 'Fortunei' type
hosta.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...immature plants of 'Georgia
Sweetheart' that I've seen so far did not exhibit the thick
substance of 'American Sweetheart'."
From the
Field Guide to Hostas by Mark Zilis (2014), "...'Georgia Sweetheart' was registered as a sport of
'American Sweetheart' in 2008, but the consensus among growers is that it
sported from another cultivar...possibly 'Captain
Kirk'."
