Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hosta ‘Hadspen Blue’ is a smaller variety with thick, corrugated, round, very powder-blue leaves. Holds its color longer than most other blue Hostas. Displays lavender flowers. Hostas, also called Plantain Lilies, grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils. A good partner for ferns. Although the flowers are attractive, Hostas are usually grown for their ornamental foliage.

An oldie but goody. The rich blue foliage appears on a medium sized plant. This easy grower makes a pretty foil for ferns and other woodland perennials.
