Hosta Blue Dimples

Blue Dimples Hosta

Hosta 'Blue Dimples' — a medium-sized blue hosta prized for its thick blue-gray leaves with a pronounced cupped form and gently puckered surface that creates a dimpled appearance. The dense mound has excellent substance, helping the foliage retain its blue tone well through the season and offering good slug resistance. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color.

Features & Landscape Uses:
A strong textured blue hosta for woodland gardens, shade borders, edging, and mixed hosta collections. Its cupped foliage pairs especially well with gold hostas, white-variegated forms, and fine-textured ferns.

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. 🌿
