Hosta Blue Heart

Common Name: Blue Heart Hosta

Hosta 'Blue Heart' — a medium-sized blue hosta valued for its broad heart-shaped blue-green leaves and smooth, balanced mounded habit. The foliage has good substance and holds a cool blue tone well in shaded conditions, creating a calm, refined presence in the garden. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the foliage remains the main ornamental feature. Type: Perennial Mature Size: Width: 28–36 in Height: 14–18 in (to ~24 in in flower) USDA Zones: 3a–8b Form: Dense, rounded mound Light: Partial shade to full shade; best blue color in filtered shade Soil: Moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter Water: Moderate; prefers evenly moist soil Wildlife: Attracts hummingbirds and bees Features & Landscape Uses: A dependable blue hosta for woodland gardens, shade borders, edging, and mixed hosta collections. Its broad cool-toned foliage pairs especially well with gold or white-variegated hostas, ferns, and other shade perennials. Care: Maintain consistent moisture and mulch annually to keep roots cool. Protect from strong afternoon sun to preserve blue leaf coating. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom and clean old foliage in early spring. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed. 🌿
