Elvis Lives

Hosta "Elvis Lives" review

18" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade. Wavy, tapered blue suede leaves. Medium lavender flowers in spring. Fountain shaped clump of blue-grey, medium sized leaves. The popularity of our 1990 cross of Hosta 'Peter Pan' x Hosta 'Green Fountain' has skyrocketed. With unique wavy tapered leaves of blue suede, and with Hosta 'Peter Pan' as a parent, you gotta believe that indeed Elvis Lives! The clump spreads to 36", and is topped with nice medium lavender flowers in early summer. A nice fountain-shaped plant with blue-green leaves & good substance; lav. flwrs. Long, narrow blue leaves with wavy edges on long arching petiols. Very unusual form. Lavender flowers. Long, velvety-blue leaves are held upright with gently wavy edges. Lavender flowers.
