Registered by
Hans Hansen of Minnesota in 2003, this sport of H. 'Guacamole' has wider green margins and
thicker substance than the mother plant. It grows into a large
size hosta about 2
feet tall by 4 feet wide with slightly corrugated leaves. The
fragrant flowers are pale lavender and bloom in mid-August.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009), "It appears to be a
tetraploid."
In an article in
The
Hosta Journal (2016 Vol. 47 No 2), the author
described this plant's flowers as having a "Strong" fragrance
compared to other hostas.

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. |

"Corrections: 2003
Registration: H. ‘Holy Molé’ This name was registered
incorrectly. It should have been registered as H. ‘Holy
Mole’ without the accent mark over the “e” in Mole."
