Hosta 'Blue Cadet' - 2026

Hosta 'Blue Cadet' is a hardy perennial admired for its compact, mounded clumps of blue-green foliage, adding cool tones to shaded garden areas. The leaves are thick and slightly textured, providing a tidy and structured appearance. In midsummer, upright spikes of pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators. Its neat habit and striking leaf colour make it ideal for borders, woodland gardens, or container planting.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, 'Blue Cadet' is hardy, low-maintenance, and reliable. The ornamental foliage provides lasting visual impact throughout the season, while the summer flowers enhance garden biodiversity. Its combination of compact growth, attractive blue-green colouring, and seasonal blooms makes it a versatile and appealing choice for shaded planting schemes.
