This hybrid of
H. 'Aden
No. 270' × H. 'Aden
No. 275' was registered by
Paul Aden of New York in
1976. The plant grows to about 13 inches in height with a spread
of 37 inches. It has dark green foliage with a creamy white
marginal variegation. Pale purple flowers bloom in August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...makes an excellent low ground cover, offering
attractively variegated foliage and a good growth rate. It was
one of the breeding plants that
Wm and Eleanor Lachman utilized and is in the background
of 'Crusader', 'Emerald Crown', 'Gay Blade', and
'Tambourine'..."
An article by Warren I. Pollock in
The
Hosta Journal (1992 Vol. 23 No. 1) states that, "Can
anyone tell me how to distinguish between 'Grand Master' and 'Resonance'?...I've
kept only two plants and they are now good-size mature clumps. But the labels
got mixed up,...I've spent considerable time examining them. My conclusion is
that they look identical...Sandra
Bond says that 'Ground Master' flowers are
darker than 'Resonance'."
