H. ‘Blue Shadows’ is considered by many to be one of the most elegant hostas ever introduced! This slow-growing sport of H. ‘Tokudama Aureonebulosa’ makes a 3′ wide clump of extremely thick, rounded leaves. Each leaf features dark blue shadows swirled around a muted yellow center. In late spring, the clumps are topped with pure white flowers on short 15″ spikes. A mature specimen is truly breathtaking! — Plant Delights
