						   This large size 
						(18 inches high by 34 inches wide), 
						cultivar of unidentified parentage was originated by 
						Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan    
				and was registered on his behalf by Rod Kuenster of Iowa in 2010. 
						It is an 
						H. 'Sieboldiana'-type of hosta with  medium green foliage that has a 
						creamy yellow colored marginal variegation. the foliage 
						is lightly cupped, slightly  wavy, broadly ovate and 
						slightly shiny on top. Near white flowers in dense 
						clusters bloom from mid-July into August followed by red 
						seed pods. 
						 
						According to the registration information, "...Herb's 
						nickname for Fred Wilson..." 
						 
						 We think this 
						refers to 
						the husband of hosta hybridizer,
						
						Audra Wilson of Iowa.
