Goodenough created it as a stunning departure from the expected — solid blue, heavily corrugated leaves with a distinctly contorted, unruly form that stands upright rather than arching outward like most large hostas. It performs reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9 and grows to an impressive 53 cm (21\") tall by 120 cm (47\") wide. Plant it where its rebellious upright silhouette can make an unmistakable statement in the shade border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contorted, unruly, and upright — a genuinely unusual habit that sets it apart from every other large blue hosta in the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrugation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavily rugose, corrugated leaves with a bold, sculptural texture that deepens and intensifies as the clump matures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich solid blue foliage with the cool, glaucous depth characteristic of the finest blue hostas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant lavender blooms in June, rising above the bold corrugated canopy for a soft seasonal contrast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53 cm (21\") tall × 120 cm (47\") wide — a large, commanding presence in the landscape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 3–9 — reliably cold-hardy across Canada.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\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\u003e53 cm × 120 cm (21\" × 47\")\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\u003eSolid blue\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 'Generation X' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and its upright contorted form becomes more dramatic with each passing season as the clump fills out.
