InfoLarge 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.
