This deeply cupped, dark blue
hosta was registered by
Paul Aden in
1978. It is a hybrid of Hosta 'Blue Velvet' and H. 'Blue
Vision'.
Forming a large sized (19 inches high) mound, this cultivar is known for its thick, heavily
corrugated and cupped foliage. It produces dense clusters of
near white flowers in late June into July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Though slow-growing, 'Love Pat'
ranks among the best in the blue-green cultivar category. As it
matures, the corrugation increases and it becomes somewhat
unruly."
