Hosta sieboldiana ‘Elegans’ | Siebold’s Hosta
DESCRIPTION
Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' is a popular perennial prized for its large, textured blue-green leaves and robust growth habit, making it a favorite among shade gardeners. Each leaf can reach up to 12 inches long and 10 inches wide, featuring a heavily corrugated, quilted texture with a slightly waxy coating that enhances its blue hue. In mid to late summer, 'Elegans' produces tall flower spikes, up to 36 inches high, with pale lavender to white, trumpet-shaped flowers that are slightly fragrant and attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Thriving in partial to full shade, 'Elegans' is versatile and attractive, perfect for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and as a ground cover, pairing well with other shade-loving plants to create a lush, layered garden display.
