The
American Hosta
Society registered this cultivar on behalf of the
originator, Frances Williams of Massachusetts in 1986. It is a seedling of H. 'Fortunei
Gigantea' which forms a giant size (30 inches high) mound of
rippled dark green foliage. Many very pale lavender flowers
appear in June and July. According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009),
"Frances Williams introduced the term "piecrust" to the world of
hostas through 'Green Piecrust'. This characteristic, of course, describes the
many ripples along the leaf margin and has become a much desired trait amongst
hybridizers."
