This seedling selection is a non-registered plant from
Mildred Seaver of Massachusetts. It has dark green leaves that are piecrust shaped and
appear to split during the growing season although this trait
does not always hold true. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "I first observed 'Split Personality' at the 1991
The American Hosta Society leaf
show...It made a lasting impression on me. Mildred Seaver
entered leaves...that appeared to be divided into sections,
something that had never been seen in hostas...Hopefully,
hybridizers will attempt to intensify this genetic trait in
future breeding efforts and develop a whole new look in hostas."
