Glenbo,
Perhaps H. 'Moody Blue' is a sister to H. 'Canadian Blue' which is
also coming out of Holland. Here's the story. A batch of blue hostas in a
field in Holland was unlabeled. To make them Saleable, the name CANADIAN
BLUE was chosen.
A Nursery nearby, imported some of these new blue hostas, and close
study & comparison with H. 'Halcyon' has shown they are identical.
This is a true story, believe it or not.
