						  This Tardiana-type  cultivar of unidentified parentage was registered by 
						Peter Ruh of Ohio in 2002.   Known in Europe as H. 'Blue Cherub', this hosta becomes 
						a medium size plant about 16 inches high with a spread 
						of 37 inches. Its rich blue-green foliage has thick 
						substance. Pale "bluish" lavender flowers bloom from 
						late July into August. According to
				
							The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...the name 'Blue Cherub' was rejected because 
						'Lakeside Blue Cherub' has  already been registered. The 
						name was altered to 'Azure Cherub' for registration 
						purposes...this will probably never be accepted by the 
						nursery industry...one of the bluest Tardiana-types ever 
						introduced and highly recommended."
