 Walters Gardens,
Inc. of Michigan registered
this sport of H. 'Satisfaction' in 2009
after it had been discovered by
Susan Lichacz and it received a U.S. patent in
2012. The fast growing, large size mound
reaches a height around 20 inches with a spread of 18 inches.
Its slightly rippled foliage is dull on top and bottom and is
broadly ovate with a cordate base. They are noted for their
piecrust shape, undulations and deeply impressed veins. The
tubular flowers bloom from June into mid-July.

 An article by
Warren I. Pollack in
The
Hosta Journal (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled
Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for
Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas
which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have
indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same
plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary
in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the
casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the
plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations and interpretations. |
