First marketed in 2012, the hosta cultivar 'Sheriff of Nottingham' was hybridized by Jim Schwartz. It is one of a series of cultivars with names inspired by the address of his business: 11676 Robin Hood Drive (Dubuque), Iowa.[1] 'Sheriff of Nottingham' is edium-sized with greenish yellow, slightly cupped, and shiny leaves. It has medium lavender, tubular flowers, blooming in June.
I have not been able to establish from which of the 24 accepted species the 'Friar Tuck' variety was bred, but perhaps this is a moot point since the species are easily interbred.[2] See the entry on Hosta Robin Hood for information on hostas in general. For 'Robin Hood' et al., see link below. Jim's Hostas is now owned by Uniquely Hostas.
