							 A 
							tissue culture sport of H. 'Jimmy Crack Corn', this 
				non-registered cultivar is from 
							Jim Anderson of Winterberry Farms in Georgia. It forms a large size 
							(20 inches high by 48 inches wide) mound of lightly rippled foliage. Near white flowers bloom from mid-June into July 
							followed by viable seeds. According to
							The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...should become very popular in 
				the near future. The contrast between the gold center and green 
				margins seems to be accentuated by its rippling."  
				
				The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
				Diana 
				Grenfell (2009) states: "A dramatic specimen better suited to a 
							sophisticated shade border than a wilder woodland 
							setting. The prominently piecrusted edges and 
							extravagantly wide margin make it one of the best 
							large-leafed introductions...On mature leaves the 
							deeply seersuckered areas resemble blistering." 
						 Sometimes 
							incorrectly called H. 'Cornbelt'.  
			  
						
						 An article  by C.H. Falstad about the stability of colors in hosta leaves in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2006 Vol. 37 No. 1) says, "Examples of 
this backward mutations - which move the plant closer to its more natural state 
of all-green leaves - are the yellow-leaved 'Vanilla Cream'...sporting to 'Wylde Green Cream'...which has a dark green margin and yellow center, and to 'Ice 
Cream'...which has a green center and yellow margin...Some yellow-leaved 
varieties seem to be able to mutate to forms with subtle variegation. H. 
'Lakeside Symphony'...which comes from 'Piedmont Gold'...is an example, as is 
the more recent green-margined 'Corn Belt'...which comes from 'Jimmy Crack 
Corn'."
