A cross of 'Blue Tiers' x 'Blue Angel' (1978), this Paul Aden hosta is another of the "Big Blues." At maturity it can reach a 4' diameter and a 3' height with bloom scapes sometimes topping 4'. The leaves are cordate and rugose. The plant has white bell-shaped flowers and is fertile. Versatile in the garden, it serves well as a specimen, border, or background plant. It has some cupping and puckering, but not as much as 'Big Daddy'.
