Hosta 'Blue Twister' is an exclusive 2024 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a Hans Hansen creation that we find exceptional, and are thrilled to introduce to the world. This very compact, blue-leaf hosta stays small, maturing at only 11" tall x 22" wide. The 2.5" wide x 6" long, powder blue foliage is quite wavy, making it unusual for hostas this size. Hosta 'Blue Twister' is a complex cross involving Hosta 'Neptune', 'Winfield Blue', 'Joy Ride' and much more. In summer, the clumps are topped with 18" tall flower spikes.
