Description
Hosta Blue Circle
Hosta Blue Circle is a charming compact hosta prized for its attractive rounded blue-green foliage and tidy growth habit. Forming a dense mound of thick, slightly corrugated leaves, this elegant variety provides excellent colour and texture throughout the growing season. Its compact size makes it particularly useful for smaller gardens, border edges and container displays where larger hostas may be unsuitable.
During summer, graceful stems rise above the foliage carrying attractive lavender flowers that add seasonal interest and help attract pollinators to the garden. The substantial foliage offers good resistance to slug damage, while the neat habit ensures the plant remains attractive from spring until autumn.
Plants leaves are cut back from August and will reappear late Spring.
