Plant Features
Hadspen Blue Hosta produces thick, cupped, heavily texted, powdery steel-blue leaves and pale lavender flowers on 18-inch scapes that rise above its neatly mounded foliage. Its one of the best blues ever developed, and is known to stick around through the season! Works well in patio containers, as a border plant, and in shade gardens. Resistant to slugs. Plantain lilies thrive when grown in moist soils with between 2-5 hours of sun. Plants should be divided every 3-5 years; its best to do so in the fall right before the first frost. Hummingbirds and bees are attracted to it flowers.
