좀비비추 ‘Eunha’는 돌연변이 유기용 화학물질인 MMS(methyle methane sulfonate)용액을 이용하여 돌연변이개체를 유기하고 그 중 녹색잎에 흰색에 가까운 줄 무늬가 들어간 개체를 선발하여 영양번식한 품종이 다. 2003년부터 3년간 특정검정을 실시하였는데, ‘Eunha’는 잎에 흰색 줄무늬가 년 중 변함없이 균일하 게 발현되는 것이 특징이고 잎 무늬가 독특하여 화분 용 및 화단용 반음지성 지피식물로서 화단용으로 이용 될 수 있는 매우 유용한 신품종이다.

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.
