This is another hosta that has been
involved in misnaming and identification. According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), "...'Blue Silver' was listed as a cultivar in
Alex Malloy's review of
Herb Benedict's introductions...but the plant has
been marketed as 'Blue Sliver'..."
This
H. 'Tardiana' seedling is a
non-registered hosta introduced by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict
in 1999. It forms a small (8 inches high) mound of narrowly ovate, blue green leaves
with good substance.
Pure white flowers appear in July.
Similar cultivars include H. 'Hadspen
Heron'.
