This giant blue-grey hosta from the Petryszyn breeding program is indeed a breakthrough plant. Each 5' wide clump stands upright, with the slightly rippled, blue-grey leaves held outwardly. In midsummer, the enormous clumps are topped with 40" branched scapes, each ending in pure white flowers. Clumps must become established before scape branching is observed.
