HADSPEN BLUE HOSTA 1gal

If you are looking for a plant that brings a sense of cool, quiet elegance to your garden, the 'Hadspen Blue' Hosta is often considered the gold standard for blue-leaved perennials. I love this variety because it holds its color better than almost any other hosta; while some blue varieties fade to green in the heat, 'Hadspen Blue' maintains its intense, steely-blue hue deep into the season. The leaves are thick, heart-shaped, and feature a beautiful "heavy" texture that makes them look almost as if they were sculpted from metal.

For our Prescott gardeners, 'Hadspen Blue' is a fantastic choice for those tricky shaded areas under pines or on the north side of the house. Because the leaves have a thick, waxy coating (which creates that blue color), this variety is notably more slug-resistant than thinner-leaved hostas. It forms a perfectly symmetrical, medium-sized mound that stays tidy and organized. In mid-to-late summer, it produces delicate clusters of pale lavender flowers that hover just above the foliage, providing a lovely contrast to the cool tones of the leaves.
