Title: RE: Hybridization...
Joe, Beth,
Another non-streaky that produces variegated seedlings is H. 'Snow Flakes', an all-green hosta. About 1 in 10 of its seedlings are variegated. The variegation is speckled and is somewhat viridescent. The seedlings of one of my speckled H. 'Snow Flake' F1 plants were 100% speckled (around 40 seedlings). According to Bob Solberg, about 10% of H. 'Sweet Susan' seedlings are variegated as well. I haven't verified this myself yet. There may be more out there as well.
Sorry no answers, just more conflicting data.
Thanks!

Joe Halinar, I read your post with interest. You have more of a handle on
the process than I do but I will tell you this. I read just this winter
(cant remember where) that Little Wonder will produce streaked seedlings.
There is a streaked Little Wonder that does for sure but supposedly so will
the stable form. I will try it this season to see. I am growing the
streaked versions this winter.
