Hosta 'Hi-Class'

[M] Here is the first hosta introduction from The Netherlands breeder, Arie Blom. Hosta 'Hi-Class' has incredibly thick leaves, being a tetraploid, that cup slightly and have a smooth surface. The deep green leaves have a blue cast in the spring, and are edged by a wide, dramatic margin. Reminiscent of a large Hosta 'El Nino', Hosta 'Hi-Class' forms a classy, high-contrast, semi-upright clump about 20" tall and 36" across.
