The 'Canadian Blue' Hosta (Hosta) is a medium tall growing perennial with an excellent ornamental value. The sculpted leaves will help you to create unique ambience in your garden. The heart-shaped foliage with sharp tips stands out with blue-silver colour. The distinct, intricate venation and quite thick waxy coating give the leaves a unique charm. Stiff, erect stems with bell-shaped flowers tower over the circa 100 centimetres tall tufts. The lavender blue inflorescences subtly underline the beauty of the plant. 'Canadian Blue' is a variety that is characterized by quick and abundant growth. Dense rosettes of the oval leaves quickly cover the ground. The long lived and sturdy Hosta won't let down garden owners.

The large and attractive plantain lily leaves allow to use the plant in many different arrangements with other species. The huge diversity that they offer will also enable you to create a grouping of the varieties of this particular species. Hostas can differ in leaf shape, colour, texture, and venation patterns. They harmonize well with annual plants, e.g. the long flowering begonia or the busy Lizzie (sultana). Hosta leaves that develop in spring offer great company for the bulb flowers. The composition with perennials that have similar cultivation requirements will solve the problem of the garden spots that are predominantly shady. The natural appearance of such arrangements is timeless and looks great at every time of the year.

The variety offered here is completely hardy. It prefers partially shady or shady sites. It thrives under the tree canopies where a large portion of sunlight is absorbed by the thick foliage. The mixture of sunlight and shade creates the optimal development conditions for these plants. Hostas like fertile humous soils that remains constantly moist. It should also be permeable and have a neutral reaction.

Hosta tubers can be planted almost all season long. Spring and summer - from April to August - are the optimal months for this task. Put the root sets 10 to 12 centimetres deep. The plants are vigorous and spread relatively quickly.
