Hosta, PW® Shadowland® 'Waterslide' Hosta

Waterslide Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its highly ruffled blue foliage that creates the illusion of waves.  The tall scapes of  lavender bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
