				   A sport of Hosta sieboldii 'Kabitan', 
				this medium size (12 inches high) cultivar was registered by
				John Machen, Jr of Virginia. of Virginia in 2003.   the leaves are narrow (lanceolate), wavy, 
				twisted and come to a distinct point at the tip. It has good substance for its size and 
				produces 
				pale purple flowers from late July into August.  
						
						  According to
				The Hostapedia by 
				Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...is an impressive variation of 'Kabitan'. 
				The foliage colors tend to be more vivid and the substance much 
				thicker, both traits indicative of polyploid plants."  
						The Book of Little Hostas by 													Kathy and Michael Shadrack 
							(2010) says: "The very thick substance of the leaves allows this 
				plant to take more sun than expected. Good in a raised bed and 
				window box, where it can be planted to spill over the edge."  
			  
				
				The 
				Hosta Journal,  (2006 Vol. 37 No. 2),  in an article 
				about flower characteristics stated that this cultivar has "...the flowers are star-like with lavender veins (tetraploid)..."
