The Carlsons registered it in 2013, and it remains one of the most difficult cultivars to source in Canada. The round, heavily corrugated leaves carry a striking blue-green hue with a glaucous bloom on top that deepens the cool, steely colour through the season. It performs reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9 and commands attention as a bold centrepiece in any shaded landscape. Divisions available here are taken directly from our display plant, which traces its lineage to the Carlsons' originator plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrugation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round, heavily corrugated and cupped leaves with a folded, semi-upright habit that creates dramatic light and shadow across the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue-green foliage with a heavy glaucous bloom on top — the steely, cool tone holds well through the heat of a Canadian summer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 cm (30\") tall × 152 cm (60\") wide — a commanding landscape giant that fills a large space with presence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beautiful tubular blooms from mid-July through August on tall scapes above the corrugated canopy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely rare in Canadian commerce — seldom available outside of specialist collections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 3–9 — reliably cold-hardy coast to coast 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\u003e76 cm × 152 cm (30\" × 60\")\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\u003eBlue-green 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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Gray Wolf' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 — its thick, heavily corrugated leaves are built for our climate.
