Description

A small to medium sized hosta described by many as "unlike any hosta we have ever seen" A sport of 'Striptease' Emerges in spring with dark green leaves and a pale lime edge; a narrow white thread separates the center from the margin.

A fast growing tissue culture sport of H. 'Striptease', this cultivar was registered by Hans Hansen and Shady Oaks Nursery of Minnesota in 2004 and received a U.S. patent in 2006. Leaves have a greenish gray center on this medium size (16 inches high by 30 inches wide) plant. It bears lavender flowers from late July into August. The leaf color pattern is highly variable from plant to plant.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...has become very popular for its interesting changes in foliage color throughout the growing season."

The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "...is most outstanding in early summer when the white halo is most clearly visible. Excellent in containers. Vigorous. Fast growing. The complex variegation may disappear unless the plant is frequently divided...Probably the most interesting of the many similar sports from H. 'Striptease'."
