InfoRare and confusing Hosta.
Described as the reverse 'Christmas Tree' or a sport of 'Christmas Tree Gala', the real 'Kevin Vaughn' is a Lachman hybrid, streaked and a good breeder. It is a smaller plant with no puckering.
According to Bill Meyer:"Kevin himself said that there is no Hosta 'Kevin Vaughn'. That name was given by someone else to the white-centered stable form of 'Christmas Tree', which later disappeared. To my knowledge there aren't any white-center 'Christmas Tree' sports out there named or unnamed, but there are streaked plants like the one in the Library with the name 'Kevin Vaughn' on them. These are probably either 'Christmas Tree Gala' or some unnamed seedling. So, unless someone has a stable white-center 'Christmas Tree', they do not have H. 'Kevin Vaughn'."
