Gerry,
H.'Edwin Bibby' is a streaked sport of 'Summer Fragrance' . It was named by
Dr John Dearden, after his grandson. This plant tends to stay streaked, that
is not settle out to quickly, though i understand it is sterile. (maybe i
should say "pod sterile"..aw heck, i dunno). Anyway, a few of us have it over
here, though its not yet availiable from the hosta nurseries here. It is a
nice looking, reasonably vigourous garden plant.
if you really wanna division let me know and i'll send you one.
