It was granted a U.S. patent in 2010. The small size plant grows to about 6 inches in height
and 12 inches in width.
Its medium blue-green foliage has a creamy
white medial (center) variegation. The leaves are lanceolate,
pointed at the
end, slightly twisted and have
good substance. It bears medium lavender, tubular flowers from
June into July and does not set seed.
The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack

morning sun followed by dappled shade. Good in a trough or tray."

Wow!
Is that a new type of hosta flower? No. Just a beautiful Trilium
bloom
emerging up through the hosta foliage. Interplanting hostas with
other species can often result in some interesting displays.
