Hosta 'Waterslide'

The exhilarating Hosta 'Waterslide' cascades across low-light garden borders with an energetic, wave-like fluidity that captivates woodland observers. Masterfully hybridized by Hans Hansen as part of the elite Shadowland® collection, this medium-sized perennial builds a lush, arching mound of long, lance-shaped leaves of heavy substance. The thick, slug-resistant foliage features an intensely ruffled, heavily rippled margin that undulates from base to tip like rushing water, coated in a dense, powdery glaucous blue wax that holds its cool tone well into summer before producing graceful clusters of pale lavender flowers in late season.

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
