Overview
'Paul's Glory' (1987) is a medium-class hosta registered by P. Ruh & P. Hofer. The entry records it as a sport, but the parent's name is not filled in. The color field reads only "yellow blue green, margins"; no margin width or finish is recorded. It has been a frequent parent: fifteen registered cultivars name it, ten of them as sports, among them 'Pete's Passion' (1997) and 'Wheaton Blue' (1999).
In the Garden
It is registered at 17 in (43.2 cm) high and 26 in (66.0 cm) in diameter. The leaves are 6.3 in (16.0 cm) long and 4.5 in (11.4 cm) wide, with 10 vein pairs. Habit, growth rate and leaf shape are not part of the entry.
How it compares
'June' (1991), in the same show class, has a similarly brief color entry, "light yellow dark blue green, margins". It is registered smaller, 15 in (38.1 cm) high and 20 in (50.8 cm) across, with a narrower leaf of 6 in (15.2 cm) by 3.5 in (8.9 cm) and 8 vein pairs.
'Pete's Passion' (1997), a sport of 'Paul's Glory', is registered as a much larger plant: 24 in (61.0 cm) high and 41 in (104.1 cm) across, fast-growing, with a yellow gold leaf of 11.75 in (29.8 cm) by 8 in (20.3 cm) and a blue green, slightly rippled margin 2 in (5.1 cm) wide. Choose 'Pete's Passion' for a bigger clump with a fully described margin; 'Paul's Glory' is registered as the medium-sized plant.
