Description
Hosta Pewterware®
Hosta Pewterware® is a distinctive and highly sought-after miniature hosta grown for its exceptional steely-blue foliage and compact growth habit. Forming a neat mound of heart-shaped leaves, Hosta Pewterware® brings unique colour, texture and structure to shaded borders, woodland gardens and patio containers. Its unusual blue-grey foliage stands out beautifully amongst green, gold and variegated hostas, making it a favourite among collectors and shade garden enthusiasts.
During summer, Hosta Pewterware® produces elegant lavender flowers on slender stems that rise above the foliage. These attractive blooms provide additional seasonal interest while helping to attract pollinating insects into the garden. The compact size of this variety makes it ideal for smaller gardens, container displays and the front of shaded borders where its distinctive foliage can be fully appreciated.
Plants leaves are cut back from August and will reappear late Spring.

Growing Hosta Pewterware®
Hosta Pewterware® thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and performs best in partial to full shade.

Hosta Pewterware® Care Tips
To keep Hosta Pewterware® looking its best, apply a mulch around the plant in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
