Mark Zilis of Illinois registered this sport of H. 'Paul's
Glory' in 1999 in honor of Wheaton, Illinois. It forms a
large size (23
inches high) mound of moderately corrugated foliage with good
substance. The pale lavender flowers are borne from mid-July into August.
Mark Zilis' nursery is located near Wheaton,
Illinois.
Warren I. Pollock in
The
Hosta Journal (1994 Vol. 25 No. 2) writes, "In tissue
culture, an all-blue sport of the very handsome, widely acclaimed,
yellow-centered, blue-margined 'Paul's
Glory' has been found and introduced. It's being called 'Wheaton
Blue'...But isn't 'Paul's Glory' a sport of 'Perry's
True Blue', and, therefore, shouldn't the blue sport of 'Paul's Glory' be
called 'Perry's True Blue'? Well...to be exact, 'Paul's Glory' was found in a
clump of 'Perry's True Blue', so it just might be a seedling and not a
sport. Mark
Zilis apparently thinks it's best to give the blue sport of 'Paul's Glory' a
new cultivar name."
