PW® Shadowland® Hudson Bay Hosta

Hudson Bay Hosta is a compact shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its large textured heart-shaped blue foliage with a contrasting creamy white and apple green center flame.  The tall scapes of pale lavender bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best bloom in part sun and moist well-drained soils. 

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, Woodland Gardens, Shade Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Painted Fern, Lungwort, Columbine
