Description

Plants reach 24" in height and 46" in width; leaves are 11" long and wide, very broadly ovate to rotund, cupped 3" deep, blue-green with bloom on the underside, heavily corrugated, of thick substance, with 15-16 vein pairs. Flowers are near white, effective from late June into mid-July, held on 24"-30" scapes that just top the foliage. Perhaps the most deeply cupped foliage of any hosta cultivar. Similar types include 'Alabama Bowl', 'Love Pat', 'Quilted Cup', 'Sea Lotus Leaf', and 'Silver Bowl'.
