Hosta "Blackjack" review
'Black Jack' (ES). The sensation of the 1999 AHS national convention. Large rounded black-green, much darker than 'Black Beauty'. Arching leaves. Emerges blue-green, turning dark green by mid-summer; heavy texture; rugose. Somewhat unruly in appearance. Seedling of 'Mira' and sieboldiana, large rounded black-green, much darker than 'Black Beauty'. 24" in height with arching leaves 13.5" by 15.5" in length. It's large size, corrugation, and blackish green color give 'Blackjack' a high level of distinction.
