How many plants do I need?Blue Cadet Hosta Description
An exquisite blue-green hosta, Blue Cadet creates a wonderfully eye-catching presentation in shady garden spaces or shadowy borders. Sweet, heart-shaped leaves are slightly rounded and gorgeously hued, giving a bright and lively look to its surroundings. Known for its vigorous nature and exceptional slug resistance, it will make a superb addition to your outdoor displays. In midsummer, when the bell-shaped, lavender blooms appear atop 24" scapes, it provides even more interest and impact to the area. Low-growing foliage at only 10-12" tall makes Blue Cadet great for container plantings, too.
