This non-registered
cultivar of unidentified parentage was originated by Gary Gossett
of Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon. It was granted a U.S.
patent in 2012.
The medium size (15 inches high by 30 inches wide) hosta
has thick substanced, blue-green foliage that show hues
of purple when it emerges in the spring. There is a
red-purple spot where the leaf and petiole meet at the
bottom of the blade. Lavender flowers bloom from July
into August. The
patent application lists the following as similar
cultivars: "Compared to
Hosta 'Purple
Haze’, the new cultivar has bluer foliage, darker
petioles, and a dark leaf base rather than a blue green
leaf base."
