ABIQUA DRINKING GOURD(2014 HoY)

Hosta `Abiqua Drinking Gourd', white, 24-30", June-July. LARGE and LARGER. Mounds 24"high by 46"wide of deeply cupped, no wait, SUPER CUPPED, blue leaves 11"long by 11"wide(16vp)and these are hard to measure because they are so cupped. You need two hands to spread the leaf out, if you're into the "Mark thing" and carry around a tape measure! Very broadly ovate, perfectly round in shape, beyond heavily corrugated, substance so thick it only cuts with a knife. Did we say CUPPED? So much so it literally holds water for days after a rainy day! Another MUST for a hosta garden and just a garden. This will even leave the worst hosta-disliker without words!
