Hosta nigrescens – Bold, Architectural, and Elegantly Blue
A classic species with commanding presence, Hosta nigrescens is known for its large, upright, vase-shaped form and striking blue to blue-green foliage. The substantial, slightly wavy leaves give the plant a refined, architectural look that stands out beautifully in shade gardens and woodland plantings.
As the season progresses, the foliage maintains excellent color and texture, making it a reliable structural anchor in any hosta collection. In midsummer, tall scapes topped with pale lavender to near-white flowers rise high above the mound, adding graceful vertical interest and attracting pollinators.
Durable, elegant, and easy to grow, Hosta nigrescens is a timeless choice for gardeners seeking a bold, mature specimen plant or a dramatic backdrop for smaller hosta varieties.
