Details
Very unique, small plant with heart-shaped leaves. Piecrust edges. This plant came in a close second at the First Look, 2001. Jim Hawes shared a batch of seedlings out of H. longipes 'Urajiro Hachijo' with Alex Malloy, 1997. From this batch came Alex's H.'Candy Dish' and H.'Smokey' and Jim's H.Marilyn Monroe', all three excellent plants. An improvement over 'Grand Slam', fertile and easily passes on its traits to the seedlings". Sadly, Jim Hawes passed away on April 18th, 2004. He had a little old-fashioned pioneer spirit. The first to start up his own home based hosta tissue culture lab. He created his Sports Wheel which gathered the information on every hosta known to have sported.
