Hosta 'Scheherazade'

Hosta 'Scheherazade' commands immediate attention in the landscape, establishing a striking architectural presence with its narrow, lance-shaped leaves that cascade into a uniform, starburst-like perennial mound. Exhibiting exceptional texture and heavy substance, the foliage is distinguished by tightly spaced, deeply impressed leaf veins coated in a sophisticated, chalky blue-green glaucous sheen that resists slug damage and retains its intense coloration throughout the hot summer months. In mid to late season, elegant upright scapes emerge to display clusters of fertile, pale lavender tubular flowers, introducing soft movement and a refined vertical layer above the compact, medium-sized crown.

Integrate this structurally dramatic blue hosta alongside fine-textured companions like shade-loving ferns to balance the rigid, pointed lines of the foliage. Interplanting with the arching blades of variegated sedges emphasizes the powdery glaucous leaf finish, while pairing the cultivar with the bold crimson or soft pink plumes of dramatic astilbes yields a captivating tonal contrast in shaded borders and woodland garden designs.

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
