If you’re looking for something a little different from the traditional hosta, ‘Hanjas Ida’ is one to notice. This distinctive variety comes from Denmark and was introduced by collector and breeder Jan Hurup Hansen.
Its long, slender leaves have an elegant, almost strap-like appearance and are coated in a striking blue wax that gives the foliage exceptional color and texture. Rather than forming a stiff, upright mound, the leaves gracefully spill outward, creating a relaxed, flowing clump.
‘Hanjas Ida’ is part of a new wave of hostas that pushes beyond the classic hosta look—and it’s a variety that collectors will definitely want to add to the garden.
