Hosta 'Dancing with Dragons' is the latest amazing hosta creation by plantsman Hans Hansen of Walters Gardens. Hosta 'Dancing with Dragons' builds on the dramatic blue leaf waviness of Hosta 'Neptune' with two more generations of enhancement. The medium/large clump to 18" tall x 43" wide is composed of thick, wavy corrugated blue leaves that are wide with a long pointed tip. In our trials, the blue color holds very well late into the growing season. The clumps are topped with 33" tall spikes of near white flowers in mid-summer...one of the most stunning blue-leaf hostas we've ever seen.
