Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring.
Design Ideas
Use this enormous Hosta to fill lots of space in the shade garden. Plant under trees and in front of cool-colored shrubs. Its purple flowers and frosty blue leaves present a very unique foliage color in the garden and is best combined with creamy variegated plants rather than those with golden variegation.
