Mildred Seaver of Needham, Massachusetts was one of the matriarchs of early
hostadom. This hybrid of an unnamed seedling × H. 'Frances
Williams' was registered by
Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts in 1981
and named in her honor.
It is a large size (22 inches high) green hosta with creamy white margins
that provide a good contrast. The leaves are slightly wavy and
slightly corrugated with good substance. The plant bears pale
lavender flowers in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar is a sibling to 'Breeder's
Choice', 'William Lachman' and 'Christmas
Tree'.
