Pot Size: 5.25 Inch Square Pot
Enormous leaves are blue-green, heart-shaped, and have light green margins. The foliage is on upright petioles that hold them horizontally, but they gradually cascade downward. It forms a gorgeous mound of foliage. Attractive lavender flowers arise on tall stems just above the plant and attract hummingbirds. It is deer and rabbit resistant. A fantastic plant that makes a great impact in the garden.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content and slightly acidic to neutral pH. They prefer slightly sandy soil over heavy clays as they need aeration for the roots. Grow in high-filtered or dappled sunlight--they can tolerate morning sun but not hot afternoon sun. Hostas are prone to slugs and deer browsing, though some kinds with thicker foliage may not be damaged as badly. Apply slug bait in early spring before the leaves have unfurled to prevent damage. Divide large clumps, if necessary, in spring when sprouts appear, or late summer. Remove dead foliage from the garden in late fall to early winter.
