Description

High-Voltage Ripples on a Sleek Lance-Leaf Blue-Green

Ron Livingston introduced Hosta 'Atomic Elvis' as a cross between H. 'Atomic Smasher' and H. 'Elvis Lives'. The parentage delivers something genuinely electric — long, lance-shaped leaves with intensely rippled, folded, and twisted margins that seem to vibrate with movement. Foliage emerges glaucous blue-green and matures to a rich dark emerald with a waxy, pest-resistant surface. It is a medium-sized cultivar that performs reliably across Canadian gardens from Zone 3 through 9.

Leaf: Long, narrow lance shape with intensely wavy, serrated margins; glaucous blue-green emerging, maturing to dark emerald with heavy substance and a waxy sheen.
Plant size: Matures to 35–45 cm (14–18") high × 75–90 cm (30–35") wide; upright starburst silhouette with kinetic textural presence.
Flowers: Lavender blooms on sturdy scapes in mid-to-late summer, echoing the upward-reaching energy of the foliage.
Parentage: H. 'Atomic Smasher' × H. 'Elvis Lives' — Ron Livingston hybridizer.
Hardiness: Zones 3–9 — dependable from the mildest coastal gardens to the coldest Canadian winters.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	35–45 cm × 75–90 cm (14–18" × 30–35")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Glaucous blue-green maturing to dark emerald

Grower's Tip: Hosta 'Atomic Elvis' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 — the dramatic rippled margins are especially striking in the dappled light of a Victoria, BC woodland garden. Every plant is verified at our nursery in Bécancour, QC before it ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Atomic Elvis', confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
