Info='Faux Chihuly'.
Leathery blue hosta with a floppy habit.
Back often shows itself in Spring.
This wonderful hosta is the result of a cross between 'Salute' as the pod parent and hypoleuca as the pollen parent. It has a flightly growth habit that wants to let the blue leaves twist and turn to show the nice soft blue under side. The unusual positioning of the leaves from the slightest breeze catches the form and style of a master glass blower whose work glorifies plants. Easy to grow.
