Returns Simplified.The Blue Umbrella Hosta is a stunning perennial known for its large, heart-shaped leaves in a mesmerizing blue-green hue. This impressive variety creates a dramatic focal point in shaded gardens with its architectural form and elegant appearance. The leaves develop a beautiful corrugated texture as they mature, adding depth and interest to any landscape design.
Blue Umbrella Hostas are remarkably low-maintenance plants that thrive with minimal attention. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain appearance and divide plants every 4-5 years to maintain vigor.
Protect from slugs and snails, particularly in spring when new growth emerges. These hostas are deer resistant but may require occasional protection. Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and maintain the striking blue coloration.
Choose a location with filtered sunlight or shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Mix organic matter into the native soil to improve drainage and fertility. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil mixture, and water thoroughly.
Space plants 4-5 feet apart to allow for mature spread. Create a shallow basin around the plant to help retain water. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
