This variety takes an entirely different path, forming a low, wide-spreading mound that Mark Zilis himself described as unruly. A spectacular choice for the Canadian gardener who appreciates a plant with raw, untamed character, it performs beautifully from the cool coasts of the Maritimes to the rugged interior of British Columbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitectural Defiance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broadly ovate leaves are deeply cupped, twisted, and corrugated, creating a wild, turbulent silhouette that breaks the mould of traditional mounded hostas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlaucous Sapphire Start:\u003c\/strong\u003e In spring, foliage is cloaked in a thick glaucous bloom on both surfaces, giving the plant a misty, cerulean appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDramatic Colour Shift:\u003c\/strong\u003e As the season progresses, the waxy bloom yields to a lustrous, shiny dark green finish, offering a completely different character by midsummer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLooming Scapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e In late June, tall blue-green scapes rising to 76 cm (30\") carry tubular pale purple flowers high above the chaotic foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41 cm × 84 cm (16\" × 33\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium blue-green turning shiny dark green\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 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 Because Hosta 'Cloudburst' is prized for its unruly habit and the transition from a waxy bloom to a shiny finish, it is a variety that must be observed to be appreciated. We never ship dormant crowns based on a label alone — the twisting and cupping are far too central to its identity. We wait for spring emergence at our Bécancour trial fields to verify that the chaotic leaf form and 12-to-14 vein pairs are True to Type before your specimen is approved for travel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosta Choice Gardens | Canada","offers":[{"title":"Trade 1 gallon (1-2 eye plants)","offer_id":46699984879868,"sku":"C-1633-1G","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4.7\" pot (1st year \/ overwintered)","offer_id":46699984912636,"sku":"C-1633-4","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8249\/6764\/files\/hosta-cloudburst-leaf-jpg.jpg?v=1776132754","url":"https:\/\/www.hostachoicegardens.ca\/en-ca\/products\/hosta-cloudburst","provider":"Hosta Choice Gardens ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
