A hybrid of H. 'Fragrant Bouquet' × H. 'Fragrant Candelabra' was
registered by
Paul Aden of New York in 1988. The mound grows to 20 inches in
height with a spread of 30 inches. Its pale green to gold
colored leaves have white marginal variegation. Fragrant,
lavender flowers bloom in August followed by viable seeds.
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Leaves stay yellow longer if grown in sun for most
of the day. Vigorous...A superb hosta which should be better known...Leaves are
longer and narrower than those of H. 'Fragrant Bouquet'."
There
is also a German cultivar named H. 'Chiemsee
Schätzchen' which translates into Chiemsee (a lake in Germany)
Sweetie.
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.
