The Family Rebel — A Solid Blue-Green Sport That Went Its Own Way
Hosta 'Estranged Sister' is a solid blue-green tissue culture sport of H. 'Sister Act', named and introduced by Hosta Choice Gardens. It shares the same family tree as its colourful sibling but chose a different path entirely — dropping the gold centre and dark green margins in favour of a clean, uniform blue-green that stands confidently on its own. The name says it all: related, but clearly not on speaking terms with the rest of the cultivar family. It grows larger than H. 'Sister Act' and performs reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9.
-
Foliage: Solid, uniform blue-green — no variegation, no margin, no compromise. A clean, bold presence in the shade border that lets the leaf form and texture do all the talking.
-
Origin: Tissue culture sport of H. 'Sister Act', named and introduced by Hosta Choice Gardens in Bécancour, QC — a Canadian original with a story worth telling.
-
Size: Larger than its parent H. 'Sister Act' — exact mature dimensions pending as our nursery stock matures. Expect a commanding, full mound with strong border presence.
-
Leaf Substance: Inherits the thick, well-substanced foliage of the Sister Act lineage — sturdy and slug-resistant with a refined, architectural quality.
-
Hardiness: Zones 3–9 — reliably cold-hardy across Canada.

Grower's Tip: 'Estranged Sister' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9. As a newer introduction still maturing at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, final size measurements are pending — we will update this listing as the clumps develop. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Hosta Choice Gardens introduction, verified before it leaves Bécancour.
