Quite possibly the best blue foliaged hosta in the last decade! This spectacular Pete Ruh hybrid of H. hypoleuca has giant, wavy, pointed leaves of blue grey that arch out on long petioles and then drape downward. A mature clump at the Walden West garden caused quite a stir at the 96 hosta convention! The lavender flowers are held at the end of the 16" flower scapes in early summer.
