InfoThis cross of H. 'Urajiro Hachijo' × H. 'Blue Clown' is a full sibling to H. 'Titanium' that is scheduled to be released soon. It is a strong blue that holds its color late into the season as do its siblings and was the first to be registered of the group of siblings and close cousins. Never released and not in nor any plans to put into production, this plant was held back primarily due to it being the most willing (easiest) parent of the group. It will be used to help raise funds for the AHS. Leaves are nearly round with undulating edge, intensely blue, of heavy substance and have exceptionally white backed. A 5 year mound grown in average conditions grows 11" high by 32" wide.
