Details

Mature clump measures 46" tall by 68" wide. Leaves are 13" long by 12" wide. Has similar growth and clumping habit of H. 'Sagae'. Very upright with a beautiful vase shape. It is intensely blue with lightly ripped edges, deeply cupped, and moderately corrugated leaves. Scapes are 4 to 5 feet tall with lavender flowers that are very fertile and produce an abundance of seed. Slug-resistant and has good sun tolerance, especially for a blue hosta. The hosta has been grown in Oklahoma and in Oregon.
