This non-registered cultivar of unidentified parentage was originated by Ron Livingston of Michigan. A large size hosta, 'Blue Dogwood' grows to about 19 inches in height with a spread of around 40 inches. The blue-green foliage is ovate shaped, slightly rippled and lacks corrugation.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Even in August, the leaves...exhibit some blue coloration. The many seed pods that develop weight down the scapes."
