How many plants do I need?Buckshaw Blue Hosta Description
The thick, heavily textured foliage of this magnificent, deep blue hosta will have you singing its praises. Buckshaw Blue is a wonderful variety that adds so much to the landscape, you'll immediately be smitten. Prized for its beauty, style and best of all, its slug and snail resistance, this 15-18" mounding plant is relatively slow growing and reaches a moderate size perfect for containers, borders and mixed beds. In summer, elegant white flowers contrast beautifully with the rich blue hue of the leaves, giving an extraordinarily chic look to shaded patios or decks. Attracts pollinators, too.
