Hosta 'Titanium'

[M] Here is one of Don Dean's most industrial-strength blue hybrids, yet! This cross of 'Urajiro Hachijo' x 'Blue Clown' resulted in thick, leathery leaves that come to a sharp point and are covered top to bottom in a heavy layer of wax. The steel-blue color lasts well into late summer, as long as the plant is shaded during the hottest part of the day. A gently undulating margin softens the plant and adds a bit of motion. Hosta 'Titanium' forms a ground hugging clump about 9" high and 34" wide that blooms in late summer with fertile, lavender flowers.
