Blue Ivory Hosta

Hosta ‘Blue Ivory’ forms a medium-sized clump with blue-centered leaves edged in creamy white. Its margins brighten to white as the season advances, and lavender flowers appear in midsummer. ## Plant profile The opened Walters Gardens profile identifies ‘Blue Ivory’ as a sport of ‘Halcyon’ and lists foliage dimensions of 16 inches high by 30 inches wide, with hardiness beginning in zone 3. Its leaves may show a greenish blush on the margins during late-summer heat. The plant’s foliage and clumping habit make it a strong shaded-border accent. ## Garden care Grow in partial shade to shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Protect the leaves from hot afternoon exposure, especially during summer heat. ## Maintenance Remove dead foliage after dormancy and divide the clump when it becomes crowded.
