As an open-pollinated seedling of the famous 'Venetian Blue', this variety is prized for its intensely blue-green, ovate leaves that feature a thick glaucous bloom on both the upper and lower surfaces. The foliage is slightly rippled along the margins and lightly wavy throughout, creating a rhythmic, textured mound that holds its powdery blue colour beautifully before transitioning to a soft medium green as the summer heat peaks in mid-July. Whether it is anchoring a woodland border in the Maritimes or providing a serene focal point in a BC garden, its elegant form and near-white tubular flowers make it a premier choice for any hosta enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntense Powdery Blue Bloom\u003c\/strong\u003e: Features a thick, waxy coating on both sides of the leaf, creating a luminous, frosty effect in early spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTextured Rippled Margins\u003c\/strong\u003e: The edges of each leaf are slightly frilled and wavy, providing a sophisticated tactile quality to the mounded clump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElegant Flower Scapes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Produces tall green scapes reaching up to 61 cm, topped with near-white tubular flowers that appear in late July.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent Mounding Habit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reaches a tidy 16-inch height with a 29-inch spread, making it a perfectly balanced \"filler\" for structured shade beds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (Height)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40.6 cm (16 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (Width)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73.7 cm (29 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanadian Zones 3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntense blue-green with glaucous bloom (green by mid-July)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial Shade to Full Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrower's Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo truly appreciate the \"powdery\" quality of 'Becky’s Choice', plant it in a protected spot where the heavy glaucous bloom is shielded from direct overhead watering.
