'Pewterware' - hosta of the day - please add your photos

Post by ViolaAnn »

'Pewterware' has unique intensely waxy blue leaves, whose color holds nearly all summer, even in the south. The 2' wide clumps are topped in very late summer with 18" scapes of light lavender flowers. Small. 'Urajiro Hachijo' x 'Blue Moon'.

Mine is a streaked sport from ‘Pewterware’ which was given to me by a friend. I’ve had it in my garden about 4 years. I hope others will share their photos of the original plant. This photo - July 16, 2014.

2017 update. A sizable portion of this plant reverted to solid blue and I separated it. Now I have both 'Pewterware' and a streaked sport. This is the solid blue section July 27, 2017.
