We first seen this plant at the 2005 American Hosta Society Convention in Ohio and fell in love with it. When we came home we searched untill we found it. This is one hosta you need to have in a special place in your garden where you can see the entire plant without other hostas crowding around it. It is a H. montana macrophylla seedling. A very dramatic upright, arching mound. Leaf blade 18"x 10", elongated lanceolate to oval, medium to dark green, deeply lobed base with moderately wavy leaf margins, good substance, glossy, slightly dimpled, veins very distinct. Flowers pale lavender on 5 foot leaning scapes in July. Makes an impressive statement in a garden. Place this plant in a sheltered area protected from late spring frosts as it is an early riser and can get hit with frost if it comes up too early.
