Hosta 'Canadian Foreign Affairs'
 

This H. 'Elatior'-type plant was registered by Peter Ruh of Ohio in 2002 on behalf of the originator, Ken Knechtel of Canada . It becomes a giant size plant (39 inches tall by 80 inches wide) with a semi-upright form and light green foliage. The leaves have smooth texture and thick substance. Pale lavender flowers bloom from late July into August on extremely tall scapes.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...becomes a massive mound of foliage that can serve as the focal point of any shaded garden. If the incredibly huge, semi-upright mound of foliage is not impressive enough, the flower stalks that reach nearly eight feet high in the summer may garner your attention...The original name for this plant was 'Rainforest', but...that name was disallowed..."
