LIGHTNING FLASH

(H. Color Fantasy x H. Alabama Gold ) x H. Venetian Blue from Doug Beilstein 2013.  Lance shaped blue leaves with creamy streaks throughout.  Lavender flowers in August-September.  Info says it has fertile seeds and gives streaky seedlings. It does have numerous solid blue divisions that come up so you need to remove them to keep the streaky section of the hosta going.  The solid blue divisions are named Fake Lightning and they make nice hostas too. We have not done any hybridizing with this plant but I'm sure it would add a different shape to seedlings with the long lance shaped leaves.
