MILDRED SEAVER

Hosta `Mildred Seaver', pale lavender, 15-24", July. MEDIUM-small. Mounds can be as diminutive as 6"high by 8"wide(as registered, making fall in the SMALL category), then we have Mark Zilis measuring one at 22"high by 55"wide! making fall in and over the MEDIUM classification. So, the smaller version has leaves 4 1/2"long by 5"wide(7vp)and the medium version has leaves 10"long by 7 1/2"wide(10-12vp); but both are green centered and creamy white-margined; broadly ovate, slightly wavy, and slightly corrugated; good substance and good growth rate. Our stock is more toward the MEDIUM size form. (1981, Kevin Vaughn. {"Vaughn 73-2"(=`Beatrice' x `Beatrice')x `Frances Williams}. The registrar has it being (H.`Breeder's Choice' x H.`Frances Williams') Aside from all the details this makes for a GREAT border hosta, more than one planting of a hosta, and DEFINTELY in your PEOPLEs NAMES hosta collection!
