Hosta 'Deja Blue'

Deja Blue Plantain Lily,hosta

Hosta ‘Deja Blue’ — commonly known as Deja Blue Hosta — is a medium-sized perennial prized for its blue-green leaves bordered by creamy white margins that brighten as the season progresses. The thick foliage has a slightly rippled texture and forms a dense mound, with the blue tones holding especially well in shaded locations. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal contrast.
