Hosta "Blue Jewel" review
Powder blue, heavy substance. A rare Benedict plant. Nice blue stays looking good late into fall. Deep veining. 'Blue Jewel' is one of the more rare of the Benedict blues. It isn't around very much at all and we don't know if any nursery is offering it. It is a really top-notch blue from Herb's breeding program and a nice rarity for the collector.
