Giant Blue Hosta, Hosta Glauca, Hosta 'Blue Angel', Hosta sieboldiana var. elegans
Noted for its superb leaf color, Hosta sieboldiana ‘Elegans’ is a large Hosta with heart-shaped, puckered, thick, blue-gray leaves, 13 in. long (32 cm). Forming a dense mound that crowds out garden weeds, the pretty foliage is topped in late spring to midsummer with racemes of lilac-tinged white, bell-shaped flowers rising on scapes 27 in. long (67 cm). Slow-growing, this perennial Hosta enjoys excellent pest resistance and is usually spared by slugs.
