Hosta Hadspen Blue forms an elegant medium-sized mound, reaching a height of 40cm-45cm and spreading up to 100cm at maturity. It features heart-shaped, smooth leaves that develop some dimpling with age; these leaves are thick-textured, lightly ribbed, lightly cupped, and have a glaucous, rich blue hue. In midsummer, pale lavender, bell-shaped blooms appear on blue-grey scapes approximately 75cm tall. However, the primary appeal of Hosta Hadspen Blue is its exceptional foliage. The striking colour of its leaves alone makes it a valuable addition to any garden. Although it matures more slowly than most varieties, it is well worth the wait. This plant is resistant to slugs and tolerant of sunlight. It has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit by the RHS and is an excellent choice for any collector of blue Hostas.
