Elegans Hosta has massive, thick, round, deeply corrugated and distinctly cupped leaves that can be over a foot wide. The texture is so pronounced it’s often described as "seersuckered."‍ ‍They have a beautiful, powdery silver-blue when emerging in spring. The color matures to a more deep blue-green or jade green in the heat of the summer, especially in areas with less shade. Near-white to pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers bloom on relatively short scapes that are often hidden within the dense foliage in early summer.
