				  A 1984 introduction by 
				Walters Gardens, 
			Inc. of Michigan,   
				this miniature cultivar has chartreuse leaves with white 
				margins. The funnel shaped lavender flowers are borne on a 10 
				inch scape from June into July. It is a sport of H. 'Gold Drop'. According to
				The Hostapedia by 
				Mark Zilis (2009), "Historically, 'Crown Jewel' ranks as one of the 
				first hosta sports from 
				tissue culture propagation. It appeared 
				in cultures of 'Gold Drop' in the late 1970s at Walters 
				Gardens...Unfortunately, it is not a very good plant. The 
				margins are thin, often causing them to rip and tear."
