Info | Broadly ovate, blue-green leaves are moderately cupped and intensely corrugated. Pale lavender flowers in mid-June. The leaves tend to grow more upright instead of bending downward like other varieties with sieboldiana parentage. This is a tissue culture sport 'Simply Sharon' (Kuk/NR) - a 'Dorothy Benedict' seedling which has a cream center. It has rapid growth for a blue Hosta. In the north it grows faster in an area with a sunny exposure |
