Hosta 'Wheaton Blue'
(Zilis 1999)
Clump Size: (L) 50" x 26"
Leaf Size: 10" x 7" -- Vein Pairs: 12 - 13
Description: Heart-shaped and pointed, corrugated, thick, blue-green to green leaves form a large mound.
Blooms: Pale lavender flowers bloom in midsummer.
Comments: Hosta 'Wheaton Blue' is the solid blue-green sport of Hosta 'Paul's Glory'. Though not particularly showy and not all that blue, it is fast growing and could be used as a backdrop the hosta garden to help show off bright yellow or variegated plants. Or you could divide them up over time to use it as a large border plant.
Light: Part shade to full shade. -- Soil: Rich, moist but well-drained soil.
Related Plants: Paul's Glory
Zones: 2 - 8
