Wild collected species (second generation seedlings). Neat clumps of narrow light green leaves and plenty of violet blue flowers to 40cm in early to mid summer. Good soil.

We aren't really Hosta growers but this is one that impresses! Fairly slug proof so far (I write this during the slug invasion of spring 2024).

I believe this was collected in southern central Europe but don't have exact details.
