Hosta 'Gemstone' (T. Avent 05)

Light ShadeZone: 3-9 5" tall Origin: Hybrid

This 1998 cross of Hosta venusta x Hosta 'Dorset Blue' resulted in one of our all-time favorite selections that we christened H. 'Gemstone'. Hosta 'Gemstone' makes a vigorous-growing but small 5" tall x 1' wide clump of narrow H. venusta-like, blue leaves. In midsummer, the clumps are topped with short 10" spikes of lavender flowers. If you like small valuable hostas, add a 'Gemstone' to your garden. This has not been tissue-cultured, so availability is limited. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
