This variety with a lot of Hosta sieboldii-blood is breeded by Jan Spruyt, perennial grower in Flanders-Belgium.
This slug free Hosta can be used as a mixed-border plant while it is the most abundant flowering Hosta I know.
This green-leafed Hosta flowers till end of September and is the eyecather in my 120 variety Hosta assortment.
