Hosta "Skylight" review
This is from hybridizers Bev and Dave Stegeman, and we think it is one of the best blues to come along in years. Like a pool of still water reflecting the sky in your garden, 'Skylight' is a medium sized blue with heavy substance, very glaucous leaves, and is highly fertile for those of you who like to grow seedlings. The Stegemans' say "Skylight's most notable characteristic is its soft, baby blue color - similar to the color of a blue spruce."
