'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, narrow lance shape with intensely wavy, serrated margins; glaucous blue-green emerging, maturing to dark emerald with heavy substance and a waxy sheen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matures to 35–45 cm (14–18\") high × 75–90 cm (30–35\") wide; upright starburst silhouette with kinetic textural presence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lavender blooms on sturdy scapes in mid-to-late summer, echoing the upward-reaching energy of the foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParentage:\u003c\/strong\u003e H.
