Hosta 'Blushing Sky'

[S-M]  Prepare to gaze upon the tranquil beauty of Hosta 'Blushing Sky'! This exquisite hosta brings a serene and sophisticated aura to your shade garden, with its heavenly blue hues and almost ethereal presence. It’s a plant of quiet power, destined to become a prized jewel in your collection!  An intentionally induced tetraploid sport of 'Blushing Blue', this exceptional hosta boasts incredibly thick, rubbery blue leaves that feel as substantial as they look. But the true magic is in its coloration: the foliage has a captivating purple blush radiating from the leaf base, which is especially pronounced in the spring and holds longer than in its parent. This blend of blue and purple makes 'Blushing Sky' a striking, multi-tonal specimen. It may be the first commercially available tetraploid blushing hosta, making it a unique and valuable plant to hybridizers working on blushing.  Yes, it is fertile! While slower growing and more compact than its parent, it offers a beautiful, slug resistant mound of color and texture.
