Info | H. 'Tokudama' type that grows well. 24" tall. Light shade to shade. A medium sized vigorous blue, nice rounded clumps with cupped and crinkled leaves. I fell in love with H. 'Abiqua Blue Crinkles' on a visit to Walden West in 1995. The 3' wide mound of intense blue foliage reminded me of a rapidly growing H. 'Love Pat'. The well arranged leaves are slightly cupped as well as being heavily corrugated. If you like easy to grow blue foliage hostas... don't be without this gem! A vigorous blue, makes a nice clump w/cupped and crinkled leaves. A vigorous blue with heavily puckered, slightly cupped foliage. Have seen it compared to 'Love Pat' in appearance, but larger and faster growing. |
