Hosta 'Blazing Saddles' is our exceptional 2002 introduction that's now sold worldwide. This Hosta 'Blue Umbrellas' hybrid forms a stunning 4' wide clump of oblong, dark green leaves surrounded by an unusually wide, creamy-white edge. Due to its excellent vigor even in difficult conditions, this is undoubtedly one of the most satisfactory hostas we have grown. Each striking clump (buy one or we'll strike you!) is topped in early summer with 2' tall spikes of medium-lavender flowers.
