InfoI really like this hosta even as a little liner.
I like the roundness of the leaves and the nice blue color.
It too is a large classic form hosta but with a little more open look as the leaves seem to float over their petioles.
A fine blue from Doug Beilstein.
Very powdery blue, slightly rugose leaves cup downward as they emerge from the very glaucous petioles, giving the appearance of multiple "hovercrafts" when viewed from above.
The many pods on its scapes prove it communicates very well.
