CHICAGO BLUES

Beautiful medium sized intensely blue hosta from Bob Solberg and the Northern Illinois Hosta Society, 2022. (H. sieboldiana x an unnamed F3 seedling of One Man's Treasure). This is a 3rd generation seedling from Bob's "Longiana" line of blue hostas selected for its royal purple petioles and its deep blue color. In spring the slightly wavy, lightly cupped leaves have a thick wax coating that seems to reflect some of that purple color up into the leaves creating a richness of blue not seen in other hostas. It is a rugged hosta that will stand out in the shade garden.
