Gowen registered it in 2002 after selecting it from a cross of H. 'Dorothy Benedict' and H. pycnophylla, with H. montana 'Aureomarginata' as the pollen parent. The broadly ovate leaves are medium green at the centre with wide gold to creamy white flat margins. It forms a broad, mound-like clump that performs reliably across Canadian gardens from Zone 3 to 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Shape and Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broadly ovate with a cordate base, lightly corrugated, with 12 to 13 vein pairs and flat gold to creamy white margins ranging from 1.3 to 3.2 cm (0.5 to 1.25 in) wide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green centre with a slightly shiny surface; glaucous bloom underneath; gold to creamy white flat margins that brighten the shaded border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.7 cm high × 106.7 cm wide (18 in × 42 in) — a broad, mound-like clump with a moderate growth rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale lavender blooms striped with white, 5.1 cm (2 in) long, on scapes reaching up to 81.3 cm (32 in) — occasionally branched, adding elegant vertical interest above the foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sets viable seeds in green pods — a useful trait for hybridizers and collectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45.7 cm × 106.7 cm (18 in × 42 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium green with gold to creamy white margin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial to full shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hosta 'Memories of Dorothy' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9.
