This H. 'Fortunei Albopicta'-type
cultivar was registered by the
British Hosta and
Hemerocallis Society in 1988.
This giant size hosta grows into a 30 inch high mound which spreads to a width
of 54 inches. The ovate, slightly wavy leaves start the season blue-green with a
very wide medial (center) variegation of a misted creamy white color which turns
more greenish as the season progresses.. It bears very pale lavender flowers
from mid-July into August.
"Plant
is yellow, mediovariegated, viridescent mutant that is reported to be the same
as
H. 'Sharmon'." Schmid lists the
originator as Maxted.
Since BHHS registered this plant, we assume that he or she was from England.
