Mr Blue
I have had this Mr Blue since 2009. I recently saw it for sale and the ad said "S" for small. I have been looking at mine as it gets bigger and decided to measure the leaves. It's 7" by 9" in my garden.

Re: Mr Blue
How big is the clump size? It reminds me a little of a Halcyon with maybe a looser spread. I tend not to buy if they are classed as small but have had some surprises the mediums have grown to what I would class as large yet some of my Giants only seem to get to Large or they are taking forever to get there. Perhaps I am not patient enough.

Re: Mr Blue
Definitely not small. Definitely an excellent hosta.
Re: Mr Blue
Thats one Hosta I'd love to get my hands on. I think it's possible on of Mr. Wrede's best introductions. With Riptide as one of the parents, it should get some size eventually. Wonder why it was listed as small?

Re: Mr Blue
Mark, the clump is about 3 feet across.

Rather than add both of these to the master list (unless they are already there), let's link to the other picture thread about this hosta - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=56566

Re: Mr Blue
Hi Ann, it wasn't there. I had added this link into the new topic. So if you just add the "Hosta of the Day" link it will all tie together.
