This is another H. 'Elegans'
type of plant
(of unidentified parentage )
that was originated by Rocknoll Nursery of Ohio and registered
on their behalf by
Kevin Walek (Hosta Registrar) in 2009. It has blue-green foliage and
forms a large size plant about 24 inches high by 48 inches wide.
The leaves are moderately corrugated, broadly ovate, slightly cupped and has a glaucous bloom on top. Near white, tubular flowers bloom from mid-June
into July. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...may be the same as 'Dr. Hale'."
Nathan Hale (1755-1776) was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War who was
quoted as saying, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my
country."
