Hosta 'Wild Imagination' is indeed a wild and crazy hosta. This Hans Hansen creation forms a 22" tall x 4.5' wide clump, composed of long, narrow, severely twisted, powder blue leaves. The clumps are topped with a nice show of 3' long, arching stalks of light lavender flowers in late summer. The parentage includes two of Hans' previous introductions, Hosta 'Neptune', 'Joy Ride', and Hosta x tardiana 'Fulda'.
