Hosta ‘Abiqua Drinking Gourd’
Hosta 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' has blue-green seersuckered leaves that are cupped upwards as if to collect the rain.
‘Abiqua Drinking Gourd’ is one of my favourite hostas and one of the most distinctive blue foliaged cultivars. Dark blue-green seersuckered leaves have heavy substance, great slug resistance and a unique cupped form with the leaf edges curved upwards as if to collect the rain. White flowers bloom early summer. Attracts hummingbirds.
