This tiny blue hosta is the heir apparent to H. 'Blue Moon' and H. 'Dorset Blue', and no wonder. It was these two hostas whose unsafe sex resulted in H. 'Blue Ice'. The 18" wide clump is composed of powder blue, cupped, heart-shaped leaves perfectly arranged around the clump. In early summer, the clumps are topped with light lavender flowers.
