SMOKEY MOUNTAIN BLUES

(Hosta Empress Wu x Hosta Powder Blue) from Clarence Hanna, 2023.  Great new giant hosta with corrugated smokey blue foliage.  The lightly cupped and heavily corrugated leaves are very blue in spring turning more green later in the summer as the powdery wax coating wears off.  Leaves are held upright on stiff petioles. This will be a statement hosta in your garden once it matures.  Pale lavender flowers in early summer.
