He selected it for its narrow, folded leaves that flare upward like a trumpet bell. The foliage emerges with a soft glaucous blue coating that deepens to blue-green through summer. Hardy from zones 3 to 9, it suits Canadian shade gardens from borders to containers. Its distinctly upright, vertical habit sets it apart from typical mounding hostas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique Trumpet Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves are narrow, deeply cupped, and folded.
