Hosta 'Alex Summer' - 2026

Hosta 'Alex Summer' is a hardy, shade-loving perennial admired for its bold, blue-green foliage with a subtle yellow margin, forming dense, mounded clumps. In mid to late summer, it produces upright spikes of pale lavender flowers that rise above the leaves, adding light texture and seasonal interest. Its striking leaf colour and tidy habit make it ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or underplanting around trees and shrubs.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, 'Alex Summer' is hardy and low-maintenance. The ornamental foliage provides year-round visual appeal, while the seasonal flowers attract pollinators and enhance garden biodiversity. Its combination of distinctive leaf colouring, reliable growth, and seasonal blooms makes it a versatile and attractive choice for adding structure, texture, and subtle colour variation to shaded garden areas.
