InfoThis 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.
