Info | Large blue from the late Ken Anderson of Minnesota. First offered at an American Hosta Society auction in 2010 A big blue hosta that is really blue! Broad, heavy leaves have numerous, closely spaced veins. Unlike many large blues, the color of Hosta 'Blue Legend' is a strong, waxy blue...not blue-green. A good grower that will form a mound at least 28" high and 60" across. Lots of pale lavender flowers in early summer. |
