Hosta Dress Blues Cyrtomium Agave nickelsiae is often lumpedThis Hosta 'Halcyon' hybrid is one of the most coveted hosta by those who have been fortunate enough to obtain one. We are delighted to be able to contribute to the cause. H. 'Dress Blues' has a wide linear blue green leaf bordered by an even golden stripe that changes to white in summer. In other words, imagine Hosta 'Halcyon' with an edge and you have the picture. In late summer, the 3' wide clump is topped by 3' tall spikes of lavender flowers.
