Hosta 'True Blue'
 

This plant is the result of a cross of H. 'Chartreuse Wedge' with a hybrid of H. nigrescens x H. 'Blue Vision'. It was registered by Paul Aden of New York in 1978. It is a giant size plant about 30 inches tall by 51 inches wide with arching foliage. The leaves are blue-green, broadly ovate and have a distinct tip. Near white flowers bloom in July followed by viable seeds.

The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "Not suitable for container growing...The inner leaves are rounder, the outer leaves noticeably longer. Leaves arch downward from oblique petioles."
