H. 'Crickett's Mountain Mist' (C. Bailey - 2017) H. 'Crickett's Mountain Mist'

Nearly round, blue-green leaves are handsomely misted and streaked with creamy white . Leaf edges roll up. Petioles are red spotted. Pale lavender flowers. Leaves are about 11 inches long by 10 inches wide. Mature clump size is about 24 inches high by 46 inches wide.

This new hosta is a sport of the highly acclaimed blue-green leaved H. 'Nancy Gill' (Kevin Vaughn - 2009) that was registered by Crickett Bailey of Jeffersonville, Vermont, in 2017. [Yeap! That's where the hosta's cultivar name comes from.]

H. 'Nancy Gill' is a seedling from H. 'Sum and Substance' x H. pycnophylla'. Hybridizing with S&S is difficult because S &S is a triploid (3-3-3) and H. pycnopylla is diploid. Successfully crossing a triploid with a diploid is usually very iffy.

H. 'Nancy Gill' was flow cytometric measured and found to be "almost triploid." It's an "aneuploid"; ploidy is 2.7-2.7-2.7 or 2.8-2.8-2.8. Nevertheless, 'Nancy Gill' acts like triploid S&S. Most likely 'Crickett's Mouintain Mist' has the same ploidy and acts similarly
