This intriguing hosta emerges with narrow, pointed, blue leaves with prominent rippled edges reminiscent of a raging sea. By summer the foliage changes to a blue green. Foliage is thick and of good substance and with an attractive arching habit that makes this hosta perfect for planting on ledges, slopes and in containers. Lavender flowers on arching scapes.
