Hosta Blue Moon

Common Name: Blue Moon Hosta

Hosta 'Blue Moon' — a medium-sized blue hosta prized for its rounded blue-gray leaves and dense, symmetrical mound. The foliage has a soft powdery blue coating and smooth texture, holding its cool color well through much of the season in shaded conditions. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the foliage remains the main ornamental feature. Type: Perennial Mature Size: Width: 28–36 in Height: 14–18 in (to ~24 in in flower) USDA Zones: 3a–8b Form: Dense, rounded mound Light: Partial shade to full shade; best blue color in filtered shade Soil: Moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter Water: Moderate; prefers evenly moist soil Wildlife: Attracts hummingbirds and bees Features & Landscape Uses: A dependable blue hosta for woodland gardens, shade borders, edging, and mixed hosta collections. Its cool rounded foliage pairs especially well with gold hostas, white-variegated forms, and ferns. Care: Maintain consistent moisture and mulch annually to keep roots cool. Protect from strong afternoon sun to preserve blue leaf coating. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom and clean old foliage in early spring. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed. 🌿
