H. Purple Haze x H. Riptide from Ronnie Van Keer of Belgium.  Holar Purple Flash has bluish green leaves in the spring with a nice blush of purple coming up through the veins and into the leaves.  As with all blue-green hostas that have a wax coating on the leaves, this wax wears off in the summer heat, leaving  shiny green leaves with a bit of purple still showing in the veins. Lavender flowers in August. 

This hosta is from the late Jane Diesen, 2020.  It is a medium sized blue hosta with gently waving heart shaped leaves that are pointed on the ends and have light corrugation.  The leaves also have some beautiful light purple coloration along the midribs in spring that catch your attention.
