Hosta Gunsmoke Helleborus Asarum nipponicum 'Milky Way' isHosta 'Gunsmoke' is one of the top new hosta introductions of the millennium! This amazing Roy Herold hybrid (H. 'Sagae' x H. 'Blue Piecrust') makes a giant, 65" wide clump of rounded, shiny, metallic blue leaves (like H. 'Blue Umbrellas') with an amazing rippled margin. The vigorously growing large clumps are topped in late spring with 3' tall scapes of lavender flowers.
