Dormancy: Winter
Height: 28" tall
Origin: Hybrid
This new hybrid from Mark Zilis is for those who like their hostas BIG! With parents H. sieboldiana 'Elegans' and H. 'Sum and Substance' you can imagine the mature size of this baby...5'+ in width. The thick, but smooth, metallic blue leaves make a show-stopping clump in the garden... we assume you want the show stopped. In early summer, the clump is topped with light lavender flowers on 36" scapes.
