| Info | =fortunei 'Robusta'. 30" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade. AGM. Classic large steel blue. Showy. The grandfather of large blue hostas is a gem... thick, round corrugated blue leaves, developing eventually into a 4' wide clump. In spring, the clump is topped with white flowers with a lavender blush, sitting just above the foliage... a large clump is truly a sight to behold! Heavy textured gray-green leaves with a glaucous bloom; white flowers. 50-90% shade. This is the classic big blue hosta. Huge, rounded blue leaves, cupped and puckered, forming a mound 6' or more across at maturity. White flowers. Many of today's blue hostas are sports or hybrids of this beautiful specimen sized plant. It forms a huge mound of heavily textured blue foliage up to 6' across. This plant has been around for a long time and you might find small variations among plants from different growers. White flowers. Large blue-gray rounded & quilted leaves. A classic. One of the earlier blooming hostas (June). Plants can get much larger than the stated mound size. (Plant 40x30) Heavily textured, large, blue-gray rounded leaves. Color is best in shade to light sun. White flowers on compact scapes. Leaves corrugated as they mature. A long-time favorite with heavily textured, large gray-blue leaves. Very showy! White flowers. Large when mature, gray-blue leaves, cupped for deep shade. Flowers near white. |
