Hosta Above the Clouds PP 34341 Clematis We think Dryopteris tokyoensis isHosta 'Above the Clouds' is a new creation from Hans Hansen of Walters Gardens. The 2' tall x 5' wide, large clump of deeply cupped, corrugated blue foliage was derived from a cross of Hosta 'Silver Moon' and the tetraploid Hosta 'Liberty'. The clump is topped with 3' tall scapes of light lavender flowers, starting in midsummer.
