Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a mutation (sport) of 'Striptease' and is characterized by a pure white leaf center occupying about one-third of its surface, and a wide dark green margin. The surface of the heart-shaped leaf blade may be slightly puckered or wavy with a matte finish.

The plant reaches 40–60 cm in height and 60–90 cm in width. From July to August, the hosta produces sturdy flower scapes 60–75 cm tall with light lavender or purple funnel-shaped flowers.

The variety possesses high growth vigor, good winter hardiness in USDA zones 3–9, and resistance to lodging of flower scapes and Verticillium wilt. It prefers fertile, moist, and well-drained soils in partial shade or shade conditions.
