Description

Twisted White Centres, Bold Blue-Green Margins — a Hans Hansen Blue Mammoth Sport

Hans Hansen registered Hosta 'Andrew' in 2006 as a sport of H. 'Blue Mammoth'. Broadly ovate, cordate-based leaves are pure white at the centre with wide blue-green glaucous margins ranging from 2.5 to 7.6 cm (1–3") across. A medium green overlap zone appears where the centre and margin meet, creating a subtle tricolour effect unique to this cultivar. Leaves are twisted, adding a dynamic, sculptural quality to the upright mound. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it a slow-growing but deeply rewarding large shade specimen.

Twisted white-centre leaves: Each broadly ovate leaf is pure white at the centre with a natural twist that gives the upright mound a dynamic, sculptural presence unlike standard flat-leaved hostas.
Bold and variable blue-green margins: Glaucous blue-green margins range from 2.5 to 7.6 cm (1–3") wide, creating a bold frame around the white centre with a subtle medium green transition zone where the two colours meet.
Exceptional leaf substance: Heavy glaucous bloom on both surfaces, thick puckered texture, and 14–17 vein pairs give 'Andrew' outstanding slug resistance and impressive leaf presence throughout the season.
Distinctive scape and bloom detail: Scapes rise 48.3–55.9 cm (19–22") with a white base that deepens to pink at the flowers — pink bracts with a greenish edge frame pale lavender, very pale lavender-striped tubular blooms from late June through mid-July.
Slow-growing but rewarding: A slow growth rate means patience is required, but the payoff is a dense, upright, layered mound with some of the most striking white-centre foliage in the large hosta category.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	53.3 cm × 81.3 cm (21" × 32")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	White centre; medium green overlap; blue-green margins
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Because 'Andrew' carries a high percentage of white in the leaf, it performs best in consistent shade — this protects the centres from burning during a hot Canadian summer and applies from Zone 3 through 9 across the country. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and assess every plant for the characteristic twisted white centres and bold blue-green margins before it ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Hans Hansen sport selection — verified before it leaves Bécancour.
