Originated by Dr. Ralph (Herb)
and Dorothy Benedict of Michigan but registered in 2010
by Rod Kuenster of Iowa on his behalf, this cultivar
is of unidentified parentage. It is a large size (18 inches
high by 26 inches wide) hosta with dark green foliage.
The leaves are ovate, slightly twisted, slightly wavy and
very shiny on top. Flowers bloom from mid-August into
September on scapes 24 to 28 inches tall. According to the registration materials: "...dark red petiole, pointed
leaf tip, shiny wavy
edged leaves..."
There is a hosta with a similar name of H. 'Ready
Eddy' but the descriptions differ.
