Blue Ice

Hosta "Blue Ice" review

Only 4" talll with icy, frosted blue/green leaves, round, cupped and rugose. 10" scapes with bell shaped lavender flowers. A fourth or fifth generation tardiana out of Hosta 'Dorset Blue'. May have the best substance and blue color of any small hosta; white flowers on short scapes. Rounded, coupped blue leaves, about 4" across, heavily corrugated with thick substance. Slow growing. Of Tardiana lineage, considered to be one of the bluest of the small hostas. White flowers. One of the best small blues, the round leaves are heavily substanced and corrugated, and cupped. Very slow growing. White flowers.
