Blue Hawaii Hosta is a  shade-loving herbaceous perennial that forms a vase shaped mound and primarily grown for its foliage.  The large, heart-shaped powder blue-green basal leaves are slightly cupped and are deeply veined and corrugated.  Its small, fragrant bell-like white flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  Blue Hawaii has great slug resistance.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Columbine, Lungwort, Bleeding Heart
