Hosta "Metallic Sheen" review
28" tall. Light Shade. Metallic grey-blue leaves, smooth and slug resistant. Lavender flowers. This new hybrid from Mark Zilis is for those who like their hostas BIG! With parents Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' and Hosta 'Sum and Substance' you can imagine the mature size of this baby...5'+ in width. The thick, but smooth metallic blue leaves make a showstopping clump in the garden... we assume you want the show stopped. In early summer, the clump is topped with light lavender flowers on 36" scapes. A huge mound of metallic gray-green leaves, great substance; lavender flowers. Smooth, metallic gray-green foliage. From a cross of 'Sum and Substance' and sieboldiana 'Elegans'. Lavender flowers. Large, metallic gray-green leaves, smooth texture, good substance. Pale lavendar flowers in July and August.
