We have started with Halcyon. Where else? This is one of the best medium sized blue hostas ever available. It's thick scapes with clusters of near white to pale lavender flowers make it a strong accent by itself. We've combined it with Lacy Belle which has Halcyon in its heritage. It's a good grower which makes a nice clump in short order. This is a medium sized hosta too, with its attractive medium blue green leaves and creamy white margins. The leaves have a slight twist. Medium lavender flowers arrive mid season. Two choices available on this one.
