It grows to 45–55 cm (18–22\") high and 70–100 cm (28–39\") wide in a medium-to-large mound. The narrow, wedge-shaped leaves point skyward and carry an exceptionally heavy glaucous wax that delivers a sophisticated smoky blue-grey colour. It thrives reliably across Canadian gardens from Zone 3 through 9. Near-white flowers rise on tall, sturdy scapes in summer, echoing the plant's strong vertical energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrow, wedge-shaped leaves with a heavy glaucous wax bloom; smoky blue-grey colour that holds well through the season — a rare combination of form and finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distinctly upright, vased silhouette that adds height and structure to shady borders — uncommon among blue hostas of this size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlug Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick, leathery leaf substance from its sieboldiana heritage makes it a tough target for pests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near-white blooms on tall, sturdy scapes in summer; mirrors the plant's vertical character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45–55 cm × 70–100 cm (18–22\" × 28–39\") — medium to large, upright mound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 3–9 — dependable across Canadian climates coast to coast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\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\u003e45–55 cm × 70–100 cm (18–22\" × 28–39\")\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\u003eSmoky blue-grey; 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Smoke Signals' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and filtered light or afternoon shade helps preserve its signature waxy blue-grey coating through the summer heat.
