'Modern Dance'. The soft grey-green leaves carry gently rippled edges that add movement and a soothing, neutral tone to the shade border. Fast-growing and reliable, it forms a compact mound approximately 30.5 cm (12\") tall and 61 cm (24\") wide. Lavender flowers appear in late summer above the grey-green foliage. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it a distinctive and uncommon companion in the shaded garden — it has never been listed or offered for sale by any other Canadian nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive grey-green colouring:\u003c\/strong\u003e The soft, muted grey-green tone sets 'Grey Area' apart from standard green hostas, providing a calming, neutral backdrop that pairs beautifully with bolder foliage colours in a mixed shade planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGently rippled leaf edges:\u003c\/strong\u003e Undulating margins add subtle movement and texture to the compact mound, giving the plant a refined, dynamic quality that rewards close observation throughout the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast growth rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishes and fills in quickly for an uncommon cultivar, making it a rewarding choice for gardeners who want a rare grey-toned hosta without a long wait.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModern Dance sport heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a sport of H.
