“Elvis lives” is popular for its wavy edged blue-grey leaves. The long, narrow, tapered leaves are medium sized. The heavy substance and light powdering on the underside gives it a suede appearance and the top of the leaf is a bit shiny. The fountain shaped plant grows to about 18” tall and can be 3 feet across when mature. Lavender flowers appear in spring on 22 inch scapes. It is a cross of Peter Pan and Green Fountain. It is best in part shade.

This classic goldish yellow plant practically glows in the dark. Immature leaves can be a little greener. They are corrugated with a nice heavy texture and because of this are slug resistant. The plant is large enough to work as a contrast plant for the big blues.
The flowers are lavender to near white and appear rather late.
The plant can take some morning sun and the plants are fertile.
This hosta has more registered sports than any other.

Hosta Blue Cadet
This small to medium sized hosta forms a perfectly round 15” clump of heart shaped leaves that have heavy substance and therefore resist slugs. The leaves are bluish green and come to a tapered point. Lavender flowers appear in June. This fast growing plant makes a nice edger.
