InfoWhereas many great streaked breeders take some time to put weight on, this one went from seed to a 15+ eye hosta that filled a 5 gallon pot in less than 10 months, a trait that any good breeder would like to see in their seedlings. This seedling has a first class pedigree; the pod parent is a 4th generation 'Pinstripe Sister' hybrid selected for fast growth, coloration and substance The pollen parent is a cross between 'Don's pie Extreme' (a 'Donahue Piecrust' seedling) x 'Niagara Falls' Although this plant is still young, it may develop some deep pie crusting with age. This seedling is fully fertile with a high sibling streak count and has produced some awesome seedlings that are under lights right now.
