Hosta 'Blue Cadet'

This cultivar was registered by Paul Aden in 1974 as an open pollinated seedling of H. 'Tokudama' (possibly a cross with Hosta nakaiana according to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009)). It forms a dense, medium sized (15 inches high) mound of heart shaped leaves with slight corrugation and is fast growing with purple lavender flowers in July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "This Paul Aden cultivar can be thought of as the archetype of the "dense, medium-sized mound of heart-shaped, blue-green foliage" class of hostas."
