This sport of H. 'Striptease' was registered by
Rick Goodenough in 2013. It grows into a large size plant about 18
inches high with a spread of around 34 inches. The
fast growing plant has dark green leaves with white
medial (center) variegation.
Its leaves are slightly
rippled, dull on top and are moderately twisted at
the tip. Medium lavender flowers bloom in July and
it does not set seed. The leaf center gets whiter as
the season progresses.

An article by
Warren I. Pollack in
The
Hosta Journal (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled
Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for
Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas
which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have
indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same
plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary
in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the
casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the
plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations and interpretations. |
