Hosta 'Beat This Blue'
 

Registered by Ed Schulz of Iowa in, 2002 this cultivar is of unidentified parentage. It is a large size hosta about 22 inches high by 46 inches wide with deep blue-green foliage. The leaves are heavily corrugated and very unruly. Near white flowers bloom from late June into Jully on scapes up to 30 inches tall followed by many seed pods.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "I thought I had seen all of the possibilities in heavily corrugated blues...Wow! The foliage color was still a bright blue, even in the middle of July in Iowa. Add to that intense corrugation and unruliness and, well, the name says it all."
