Description:
Hosta 'Azure Gem' is a small, fast-multiplying blue hosta with miniature Hosta sieboldiana-like foliage. Its dusty blue, heart-shaped leaves are corrugated with prominent veins, adding texture and interest to shaded garden areas. This plant forms a very small clump, reaching only 7 inches tall and 18 inches wide, making it ideal for rock gardens or as a groundcover. In June, it produces 15-inch scapes of lilac flowers, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Hosta 'Azure Gem' is a hybrid with parents including Hosta 'Silver Bay' and Hosta venusta, ensuring a robust and reliable growth habit. Its compact size and unique coloration make it a standout choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of blue to their plantings. This hosta's adaptability to various light conditions and low maintenance needs make it a popular choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
