An excellent hosta for a small garden with a compact, medium-sized mound of gorgeous, glaucous blue-green, flattened, heart-shape leaves. Pairs well with bright, variegated hosta varieties. The thick foliage is more slug resistant than others. Tall stems of showy pale lavender-mauve flowers emerge in summer. An herbaceous perennial.
