Originated by
Piet Warmerdam of the
Netherlands
but registered on his behalf by
Registrar, Gayle
Hatley Alley for The
American Hosta Society
in
2020,
this cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Elegans' ×
H. 'Halcyon'.
It is a large size (24 inches high by 40 inches wide) cultivar with moderately
greenish blue (122A
RHS Colour Chart)
foliage.
The broadly ovate leaves are
slightly corrugated, slightly shiny and glaucous on top and have deeply impressed
veins. Near white flowers bloom in June and set viable seeds. Its size and
features are similar to all
H. 'Sieboldiana'-type hostas.
The
registration materials state: "...Upright clump of
powdery blue-green leaves that hold their bluish cast well throughout the
season...If sited in shade it will retain its glaucous blue coating quite late
in the season." According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...sometimes incorrectly listed as 'Blue Mountain'." |
