Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts registered this hosta with white marginal
variegation in 1983. It is a
cross of "Vaughn
Seedling 73-2"
×
H. plantaginea. The large size (26 inches high)
plant has moderately wavy, ovate shaped foliage with above
average substance. Its fragrant, very pale lavender flowers
bloom from mid-August into September.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...has historical
significance as the first registered hosta with fragrant flowers
and variegated foliage. This is another breakthrough for Kevin
Vaughn whose breeding program was well ahead of its time."
In an article in
The
Hosta Journal (2016 Vol. 47 No 2), the author
described this plant's flowers as having a "Strong" fragrance compared to other
hostas.
