Info | This unique hosta has glaucous blue leaves with purplish stems, with the color continuing into the veins and with a haze of purple infusing on to the leaf surface. This color is most pronounced in spring. A neat mid size plant with elongated leaves of heavy texture. 'Purple Haze' has something we've never seen before in a hosta! It actually looks like the wax is purple. The name really scores a bullseye as it really does seem to have a purple haze over the leaf. |
