This cultivar was
registered by
Russ Willar of Ontario, Canada in 2008 as a sport of H. 'Olive
Bailey Langdon'. It is a large size plant about 24
inches high by 46 inches wide with chartreuse yellow
colored leaves. The foliage is slightly rippled, broadly
ovate, slightly cupped, heavily corrugated and dull on
top with thick substance. Near white, tubular flowers
bloom from mid-June into July.
An article by Warren I. Pollock in
The
Hosta Journal (2009 Vol. 40 No. 3) states that the
cultivar H. 'L.E.W.' was named by
Russ Willar for his wife, Linda Ellen Willar.
