Queen of the Seas

Hosta "Queen of the Seas" review

The Hosta Queen of the Seas won best in show at the 1997 National Hosta Convention. This incredible hosta has lightly twisted, pointed, powder blue leaves which are heavily rippled and piecrusted. Queen of the Seas becomes one of the most spectacular hosta plants in the garden when it matures. The best serrated piecrust leaf on any hosta we have ever seen. White flowers appear in midsummer.
