Love the color. On a few hostas the scapes are the unique feature. You have one. What is the name of the hosta?

They should really help ID the hosta, but I'm afraid I don't have the answer. I will bump the post up, though.

Did you see Purple Scapes in the Hosta Library? The leaves are different, so I doubt it's the same kind, but the scapes look the same color (from the poor photo they have). Also Peacock Strut, Purple Boots, Purple Haze, Purple Passion, Purple Rain, etc...

actually ... the scapes are red.. but the waxy glaucous bloom makes it look purple ... go figure on that ...

can you verify that it is a named variety???

some of those listed above.. are so new.. and costly.. they arent about to show up in your yard gratuitously ...

The person that I got it from told me it was Elegans...

elegans flowers are barely above.. and usually below the leaves ....

is it possible it was just a seedling in their yard

It may also be Sparkling Burgundy, just a thought.

I don't think it is Sparking Burgundy... here is some addtion info:
leaves 4"x6"
upper - slightly glaucous
lower- glaucous
veins = 9-11
flower - purple
scape - dark purple greenish

Could be Blue Cadet, it has light purple flowers.
