Hosta 'Tears in Heaven' is another selection of the amazing blue-foliaged hostas from Walters Gardens' plant breeder Hans Hansen. This small hosta forms a 15" tall x 28" wide clump of cascading, intensely powder blue, heavily-ruffled leaves, whose color holds extraordinarily well through the summer in most climates. The 2' tall stalks of pale lavender flowers top the clump in summer.
