Hosta 'Blue Umbrellas' - 2026

Hosta 'Blue Umbrellas' is a hardy perennial admired for its large, blue-green leaves that form bold, mounded clumps, adding striking texture and colour to shaded garden areas. The slightly corrugated foliage provides structure, while upright spikes of pale lavender flowers appear in midsummer, adding height, seasonal interest, and attracting pollinators. Its impressive leaf size and tidy habit make it ideal for borders, woodland gardens, or as a specimen plant.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, 'Blue Umbrellas' is hardy, low-maintenance, and reliable. The ornamental foliage maintains its visual appeal throughout the growing season, while the summer flowers enhance garden biodiversity. Its combination of substantial leaf texture, bold blue-green colouring, and seasonal blooms makes it a versatile and eye-catching choice for shaded planting schemes.
