This hybrid of
H. kiyosumiensis x
H. pycnophylla
was originated by
Hajime Sugita of Japan and was registered by
Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1999. It grows
into a large size hosta about 23 inches in height with a spread of
around 62 inches. The foliage starts the spring as a blue-green
but changes to dark green by the end of the summer. Its leaves
are slightly cupped and have a very long, thin tip. Lavender
flowers bloom on long, drooping scapes in August.
