Hosta ‘Blue Cadet’

‘Blue Cadet’ is one of the bluest of the smaller Hosta. A very attractive, low-growing clump of blue-gray leaves that only reaches about 1 foot across. The light violet flowers are another nice asset. This hosta holds up extremely well right up to the first frost! One of the top-rated blues. It is widely used as a ground cover and an edging plant. The plant may be divided every few years or left undisturbed indefinitely.

Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling.

Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly.

Pests or Diseases: Chewing insects and slugs can disfigure the foliage. Leaf Spots and Crown Rot.
