Hosta 'Sounds of Silence'

The hypnotic Hosta 'Sounds of Silence' breathes a serene, ethereal calm across low-light sanctuaries, emerging as a coveted new masterpiece for collectors of true blue foliage. This exceptional H. McDonnell introduction builds a beautifully structured, medium-sized mound of rounded leaves that elegantly taper into crisp, distinct tips. The slightly cupped foliage boasts strongly wavy margins and an incredibly thick, heavy glaucous wax coating that imbues the canopy with a frosty, shimmering silvery-blue brilliance in spring. Holding its cool coloration remarkably well even through intense summer heat, the leaves feature powder-white reverses that gleam in dappled light, finishing its seasonal show with pure white blossoms in June.

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.
