HOSTA ‘Blue Hawaii’ 32” x 48” Giant $17.95 Intensely blue, very thick leaves form a large, vase-shaped mound. Leaves are heart-shaped, corrugated and their powdery blue colour lasts well into the summer. Shade brings out the best colour. Very vigorous and slug resistant . White, lightly fragrant flowers on very tall scapes bloom in July. (2-gal) Photo: Source HOSTA ‘Blue Ivory’ 16” x 24” Medium $22.95 An encore hosta. This beautiful hosta with thick, heart-shaped leaves displays a wide, creamy white irregular margin which bleeds into the blue center . By summer, the margin brightens to pure white and the center deepens to blue-green. Parts of the margin may develop an unusual and attractive greenish blush in the dog days of late summer. Good substance. A customer favourite. Slow growth rate, but lovely at every stage. The blue on this hosta is particularly rich and sumptuous and the contrast between it and the wide white margins is very satisfying. Best of all, the price has decreased substantially since we first introduced this plant. Lavender flowers. Photo: Source HOSTA ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ 8” x 18” Small $15.95 An encore hosta. Cute as a blue button. This wee hosta has thick, round, blue-green leaves and grows into a perfectly symmetrical mound. Good substance and vigour. Very attractive in flower. Clusters of lavender, bell-shaped flowers emerge from balloon-like buds and bloom just above the foliage. Photo courtesy Walters Gardens, Inc. HOSTA ‘Blue Umbrellas’ 32” x 48” Giant $17.95 I’ve owned this hosta for several years, and it gets better and better as it matures. Its leaves are beautifully textured and ribbed, and flow downwards, like an umbrella. Very thick, slug repellant substance. Best colour and performance are in deep shade. Near-white flowers.
