About This Plant
A beautifully understated hosta with cool, powdery blue foliage that brings a calm, sophisticated feel to shady spaces. Its thick leaves form a neat, rounded mound and hold their blue coloring well through the season. In summer, delicate lavender blooms rise above the foliage for a soft contrast. A classic choice for woodland gardens, shady borders, and along paths where its distinctive color can really stand out.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a shady spot with under 3 hours of direct sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and plant at the same depth it was growing, gently loosening the roots. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during heat and dry spells. Top-dress with compost in spring; most perennials don't need much fertilizer.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Cut back after a hard frost, or leave stems standing for winter interest and tidy up in spring. Divide every 3–4 years if the center thins. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
