PURPLE HAZE

Parent of Hosta Holar Purple Flash.  Very beautiful and unique hosta from Bill Janssen 2004. Leaves are blue with purple petioles but the purple extends up into the centre of the leaf in the veins creating a "purple haze' look.  The purple in the leaves does fade in the summer although here in Ontario with a considerable amount of sun being given to the hostas in our gardens the purple has persisted part way into summer. Some years the purple is more predominant then other years depending on if spring is dryer and sunnier or cloudier and wetter.
