Hosta x SHADOWLAND® Diamond Lake (PP30769) has attractive, heart-shaped, thick and heavily corrugated blue leaves with wavy margins that resist slug damage. The large size of this plant also translates to large leaves: they can get up to 9″ wide by 11″ long. Pale lavender flowers appear in early to midsummer. Use this blue hosta to add some color to your shade garden. This plays well with ferns, hellebores, and other hostas.

Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today’s gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.

A Proven Winner Hosta, it prefers rich, well-drained to moist soil in full shade to part shade.
