Info | A good blue hosta should have great blue color and hold that color well into the summer. This small hosta does both; it is my best blue yet. The secret is in the wax. A cross of two very waxy parents, 'Powderpuff' and 'Skylight', it makes a nice dense clump and stays blue here into July. Some morning sun will bring out the best in it. |
