This
open-pollinated seedling of
H. 'Elegans'
was
registered by
Steven C. Moldovan of Moldovan Gardens in Ohio in 1983. It forms a large size (22 inches high) mound of very
unruly, moderately corrugated foliage with thick substance. The
near white flowers bloom from late June into July.
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), says that this plant falls into a group in the
H. 'Sieboldiana'
species and consists of "registered
seedlings that have either 'Elegans' or an
'Elegans' sport (e.g. 'Frances
Williams', 'Northern
Halo', etc.) as a parent. All of these have blue-green
foliage and represent the range of 'Elegans' types that can be
found."
Mark Zilis (2009)
goes on to say, "Despite being registered over
twenty years ago, few specimens of 'Rembrandt Blue' exist. That
is a shame because it ranks highly for deep blue foliage
color..."
