Info | PP23665. Extremely thick leaves that feel like plastic, much thicker than any other hosta. Leaves are intense blue, cupped and puckered. Texture and substance of leaves remind you of a rhino's hide - thick and unusual! Strong, stout leaf petioles. The parentage of 'Rhino Hide' is uncertain, but may possibly related to 'Love Pat', though it's different is some significant ways. |
