This metallic blue-green Hosta will grow to 30″ tall and 48″ in diameter. ‘Elegans’ features spectacular 13 x 10″, heart-shaped leaves!  They are thick-textured and heavily corrugated with a surface that is cupped. There are racemes of funnel-shaped, white flowers with a violet tinge on scapes up to 36″. The thick, puckered leaves are gorgeous and have distinctive veining and pointed tips. Leaves often emerge smoky-blue in spring. The flowers appear in early to mid summer on stalks located above the foliage on top of upright leafy scapes.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Performs well in sun but prefers a shady location. May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the eyes (tender white or purple swelling protruding from the crown area) are about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Divide plants as needed in spring or autumn. A division is usually easiest in early spring before the leaves unfurl.

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