Abstract
A Hosta cultivar 'Neulpureum 1' was bred at the Korea National Arboretum, which produces new cultivars using vegetative propagation techniques. The new cultivar 'Neulpureum 1' was derived by crossing Hosta minor with Hosta 'Krossa Regal'. Among the induced leaf-color- and shape-modified hosta plants, the plants that exhibited deep-green color and small-bended leaves were selected. 'Neulpureum 1' maintained the deep-green leaves for longer than Hosta 'Krossa Regal'. Additionally, the plant height of 'Neulpureum 1' was shorter than that of Hosta 'Krossa Regal' and several leaves were observed on the new cultivar; therefore, it is likely to be used as a pot plant. The botanical characteristics were investigated for three years beginning 2012. A Hosta 'Neulpureum 1' can prove to be useful as a material for a pot plant or as ground cover plant at half-shadow place.
