Hosta 'Blue Haired Lady'

This sensational architectural masterpiece introduces a rugged, wild charisma to the shade border with its beautifully low-growing and expansive form. A brilliant hybrid of the rare species Hosta yingeri, its long, oval leaves emerge with a dense, chalky glaucous bloom underneath that yields a striking seafoam blue-green hue early in the season. As summer advances, the foliage gracefully shifts into a rich, deep emerald with a flat margin and smooth, matte finish that accentuates its thick leaf substance. This fascinating visual grace concludes with a late-season structural highlight, as unique, spidery pale lavender blossoms ascend dynamically above the low canopy on tall, clean scapes.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
