BLUE UMBRELLAS

Hosta `Blue Umbrellas', near white, 30-36", June-July. LARGE-HUGE. Mounds 33"high by 72"wide of bluish leaves early slowly moving into the bluish-green and then a dark green but one that still reflects the seasons bluish color! Leaves 15.5"long by 12"wide!(16-18vp). Leaves broadly ovate; inversely cupped, thick underside bloom, moderately corrugated, and very thick substance; that shiny-like dark green by summer. The leaves literally could be used as umbrellas should it start raining while you're visiting a hosta garden that has one of these in it. That is if everyone already cut all the leaves from `Sum and Substance'! (1978, Paul Aden,`Tokudama' x `H.sieboldiana `Elegans'))
