This hybrid of H. 'Sum and Substance' × H. pycnophylla was
originated by
Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts and registered on his behalf by
Kevin Walek (Hosta Registrar) in 2009. This large size mound with upright
foliage grows to about 26 inches in height and 58 inches wide.
The leaves are broadly ovate, moderately corrugated, moderately cupped upward and downward
with thick substance. Very pale lavender flowers bloom on short
scapes in August. It sets viable seeds in blue-green colored
pods.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...is a throwback to its
H. pycnophylla pollen parent and develops scapes that lie within
the foliage and are ornamentally insignificant."
Similar species include
H. nigrescens.
