Description:
'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.
