Height: 10" tall
Origin: Hybrid
(syn: H. 91-294) Our 1999 introduction is the first hosta to combine the traits of the late-flowering, deeply-veined rock hosta, H. kikutii with the blue of H. sieboldiana. This new hybrid (H. 'Hirao Splendor' x H. 'Hadspen Blue') forms a stunning 3' wide rosette of deeply-veined, powder-blue leaves. In late summer (August and September), the clumps are topped with attractive 16" scapes of light lavender flowers. If you've been looking for a flat-growing blue hosta...wait no longer!
