Hosta “Jotunheim” review and information

Hosta "Jotunheim" review

Large bluish leaves are puckered and upright. White flowers in June. We have grown on thousands of seedlings, looking for some top quality blues. In this one we feel that several criteria all came together: Deep, silvery-blue color, heavy substance, rugose leaf, pleasing mound shape and good growth rate. Growing in full sun in the field, the original seedling clump was 5 1/2' across. Individual leaves are about 8"x10", with beautiful puckering at maturity. Of very heavy substance, the leaves pucker distinctively with age and develop a rather undulating edge. Furthermore, this hosta exhibits good slug resistence. We have found its best color is developed when given some good morning sun. Its silvery patina lasts much longer than on most other blues. Strong, husky divisions. As a parent, 'Jotunheim' is producing large offspring with beautiful color, heavy substance and beautifully dimpled leaves. Increasingly popular.
