Info | This is the second of my blues. It is named after my uncle. As a child he was the largest man I knew. He could terrify me just by making a face in my direction. The thing I remember most about him were his long legs. This hosta has some of the longest petioles to leaf size I have seen It is a cross between 'Blue Splendor' and 'Halcyon'. The blue color is quite intense. The flower color is nearly white with just a lavender haze. It is fertile both ways |
