Hosta 'Blue Hawaii' ~ Blue Hawaii Hosta star-roses and leaf gallsBlue Hawaii Hosta is a shade loving herbaceous perennial that forms a vase shaped mound and primarily grown for its foliage. The large, heart shaped powder blue green basal leaves are slightly cupped and are deeply veined and corrugated.
