Heavy texture huge blue-green leaves and good slug resistance makes this a beautiful addition to the shaded garden. Even in the hot summer months it keeps its great blue green foliage and strong upright form delivering real low-maintenance enjoyment in the garden. After a rain, Drinking Gourd earns its name with small pools of water collecting in the deeply cupped leaves. Though not too showy, the white flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the shade!
