Hostas, also known as Plantain Lily, are hardy garden perennials (they come back every year). Our plants are professionally grown and are guaranteed free from disease, including 'Hosta Virus X'. If you want the best you have come to the right place!

Did you know... Blue hostas are actually green hostas with a waxy covering on the leaves that gives them the wonderful blue color. The "blueness" of a blue hosta depends on the plant age, hosta variety and the location the blue hosta is planted or kept. Sunlight slowly melts the wax off the leaves turning them back to green, thus a shadier location will protect the blue color longer into the growing season. Blue hostas always re-emerge the next year with a new waxy coating, thus making them blue again. Young blue hostas often only develop the wax after a year or more of growing.

Our plants have been over-wintered here in the upper Midwest to ensure strength and hardiness and to encourage blooming the first year in your garden. Our plants are grown outdoors where Mother Nature helps us produce the best plants possible. Our potted plants can be planted at your convenience, just keep them outdoors watered until you are ready to put them into the ground. We include complete planting instructions with all orders. This plant is ready for your garden!
