Allegan Emperor Hosta

(Mature Size: 30"T x 72"W)   Hosta 'Allegan Emperor' forms a huge vase-shaped mound that changes color from grey-green in spring to a shiny dark green by July. Leaves emerge with lots of wax making them look like they are covered with dust. The wax fades very quickly and the leaves become a shiny green color. Leaves are very wrinkled and folded giving the clump a lazy appearance. Forms a giant mound of elegant foliage. This hosta has very thick substance for great slug resistance. Has the ability to reach the listed size but only in a good soil and exposure location. Most growers may see a clump 24"T x 50"W. Clusters of lavender flowers bloom in July on 48-inch scapes. Why Should I Grow It? Very large mound of smokey blue-grey foliage with some nice undulations. (H. Deshane/K. Herrema/P.
