F. Shaw originated this sport of a variegated form of Hosta 'Elegans'. Its original registration dates to 1978; the 2016 amendment correctly identifies F. Shaw as originator. A waxy bloom coats both leaf surfaces, while gentle cupping adds depth to the foliage. By late summer, the leaves turn green, giving this substantial shade-garden anchor a softer seasonal finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSculpted foliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad, heart-based leaves combine deep puckering with light cupping, creating texture worth enjoying up close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom to make an impression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Give this large hosta space beside a shaded path, where its sweeping foliage can set the scene.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA changing palette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enjoy the intensely blue-green early foliage, then let its late-summer green tones blend into the surrounding planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer flowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near-white blooms rise above the textured leaves, adding a gentle contrast to the bold foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63.5 × 167.6 cm (25 × 66 in)\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\u003eIntensely blue-green foliage turning green by late summer; near-white flowers\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a shaded spot with room for the clump to spread, and water the soil rather than repeatedly wetting the leaves.
