Hosta Blue Moon

Blue Moon Hosta

Hosta 'Blue Moon' — a medium-sized blue hosta prized for its rounded blue-gray leaves and dense, symmetrical mound. The foliage has a soft powdery blue coating and smooth texture, holding its cool color well through much of the season in shaded conditions. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the foliage remains the main ornamental feature.
