This open pollinated seedling of Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' was
registered by
Steven C. Moldovan
in 1983. It forms a large sized (22 inches high) mound of very
unruly, moderately corrugated foliage with thick substance. The
near white flowers bloom in late June into July.
The Hosta Handbook by
Mark Zilis (2000), says that this plant falls into a group in the
Hosta sieboldiana species and consists of "registered
seedlings that have either 'Elegans'
or an 'Elegans' sport (e.g. 'Frances
Williams', 'Northern
Halo', etc.) as a parent. All of these have blue-green
foliage and represent the range of 'Elegans' types that can be
found."
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Despite being registered over
twenty years ago, few specimens of 'Rembrandt Blue' exist. That
is a shame because it ranks highly for deep blue foliage
color..."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Helen
Doriot'.
