The slightly puckered foliage features a rippled margin and a soft glaucous bloom that gives the clump a cool, refined presence in the shade garden. We acquired it in 2025 and it has performed impressively in its first season at our nursery, showing a fast growth rate that bodes well for gardeners eager for results. Lavender blooms add a warm seasonal accent above the blue foliage. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it an exciting addition to the border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive vase-shaped habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, slightly puckered powdery blue leaves form a refined vase-shaped mound — a less common and eye-catching form in the shade garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowdery blue foliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e A soft glaucous bloom gives the leaves a cool, frosty blue quality that stands out in dappled light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRippled margin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each leaf features a gently rippled edge that adds texture and movement to the mound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast grower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our 2025 nursery season confirmed a strong growth rate — this cultivar fills in quickly and establishes well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLavender blooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft lavender flowers add a warm seasonal accent above the blue foliage canopy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.9 cm × 73.7 cm (22\" × 29\") estimated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowdery blue with glaucous bloom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial to full shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Beautiful Hope' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and its upright vase-shaped habit makes it especially effective as a vertical accent in mixed shade plantings. We acquired it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC in 2025, and its strong first-season performance has us excited for what it will look like at maturity.
