Blue Flame - Hosta

Hosta ‘Blue Flame’ is a clump-forming selection with powder-blue leaves and irregular cream margins. Its fragrant lavender-purple flowers appear in summer on scapes above the foliage. ## Plant profile The American Hosta Society registry records this named cultivar, and specialist sources describe it as a sport of ‘Fragrant Blue’. Published garden dimensions differ, with sources reporting mature widths from 20 to 32 inches. Both describe the same selection. The plant is suited to full or partial shade. ## Garden care Use moist but well-drained soil and protect the foliage from hot afternoon sun. Its blue leaves and pale margins make a useful accent in a shaded border or woodland planting. Keep the crown clear of waterlogged debris. ## Maintenance Remove dead leaves after dormancy and divide the clump when it becomes crowded.
