InfoStreaked breeder:*****
'Lakeside Knickknack' is a small, energetic plant that has three flowering periods each summer. It even sets seed all three times. It's a pod parent queen.
As a seedling it won a section award in MI. On the way home in downtown Chicago a street marker read Knickknack. What could be a better name for an indescribable plant? This hosta is a 1994 registration and it has viable seed set.
The ancestry is H. "seedling" x H. 'Hydon Sunset'.
The leaves are ovate with a rounded base and have average substance.
Small - rapid growing clump of streaked golden lime leaves edged in bright green, streaks are various shades of cream, yellow and green. Repeat bloom.
Section winner in 1993 National.
