				hybrid of H. longissima  x an 
				unnamed green seedling. It grows into a miniature size hosta 
				about 4 inches in height and a width of one foot. The dark, 
				glossy leaves are about 4 to 5 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. It

emerge...Can be grown in a pot plunged in a pond as long as the crown is above 
water level. The thin leaves are vulnerable to pest damage."
