Fragrant Blue Hosta

Fragrant Blue Hosta (Hosta 'Fragrant Blue') is a rare and exceptional variety that brings together two of the most coveted qualities in the hosta world — stunning chalky blue, heart-shaped foliage and genuinely fragrant flowers. Its thick, deeply textured blue-green leaves form an elegant, rounded mound that anchors shaded borders and woodland gardens with year-round structural beauty, while fragrant lavender to white funnel-shaped blooms rise above the foliage on tall scapes in midsummer.

Grown from professional-grade nursery stock, Fragrant Blue Hosta arrives with a healthy, well-established root system ready to settle in and thrive in the shaded and part-shaded spots of the garden. Its outstanding slug resistance, exceptional foliage color, and the rare bonus of fragrant blooms make it one of the most rewarding and collectible hostas available for both novice and experienced shade gardeners.

• Striking Chalky Blue Heart-Shaped Foliage: Thick, deeply corrugated, chalky blue-green leaves form a lush, architectural mound that provides exceptional year-round structure and cool, elegant color in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and container plantings.
• Rare Fragrant Blooms: Unlike most hostas, Fragrant Blue produces genuinely sweet-scented lavender to white funnel-shaped flowers on tall scapes in midsummer — an extraordinary bonus that makes this variety truly stand apart in the shade garden.
• Outstanding Slug & Pest Resistance: The thick, heavily substanced foliage is significantly more resistant to slug and snail damage than thin-leafed hosta varieties, making Fragrant Blue a more reliable and lower-maintenance choice for gardens with pest pressure.
• Exceptional Shade Garden Anchor: Its bold, rounded mound of deep blue foliage makes Fragrant Blue an outstanding anchor or focal point in shaded borders, combining beautifully with ferns, astilbes, heucheras, and other woodland perennials.
• Professional Grade Root System: This plant arrives with a healthy, well-developed root system that establishes readily in shaded conditions and returns reliably, growing larger and more impressive with each passing season.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in part shade to full shade with consistent, moderate moisture and humus-rich, well-drained soil — regular mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fragrant Blue Hosta is a cold-hardy, long-lived perennial suited to USDA Hardiness Zones 3–8, returning each spring and gradually expanding into a larger, more spectacular clump over time. Mature height reaches 18–22 inches with a spread of 30–36 inches. Bloom time is midsummer (July–August). Protect from afternoon sun in hot climates to preserve the rich blue foliage color.
