Description
Big Blue Hosta is a showstopper that infuses your landscape with a bold splash of cool, blue-green texture. Its expansive, deep blue leaves create a stunning focal point in shaded areas, perfectly scaled for Michigan’s climate. As new foliage emerges in early spring, this deciduous perennial gradually forms a lush clump that offers satisfying visual interest throughout the growing season. In midsummer, subtle lavender flowers appear at the leaf bases, adding a refined touch without detracting from its striking foliage.

Ideal for borders, mass plantings, or as a standout container specimen, Big Blue Hosta thrives in partial to full shade—requiring at least 4 hours of filtered sunlight daily. It prefers moist, well-drained, organically enriched soils, and its moderate growth rate ensures it remains tidy and well-behaved over time.

General Care

  • Light: Best grown in partial to full shade (minimum 4 hours of filtered sunlight daily)
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter
  • Watering: Provide regular, consistent watering throughout the growing season, especially during warmer Michigan months
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to help conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature
  • Pruning: Minimal maintenance is required; simply remove any dead foliage in early spring to encourage fresh growth

Big Blue Hosta is an inspiring, low-maintenance perennial that adds a modern, textural statement to your landscape, whether in the ground or in a container.
