The Hosta 'Fragrant Blue' is a remarkable shade perennial, appreciated for its satin blue-green foliage and its fragrant flowers, a sought-after characteristic in hostas. Its thick leaves retain their bluish hue throughout the season.
It develops a wide and harmonious habit, forming a dense mass ideal for partially shaded borders, woodland gardens, and arrangements near relaxation areas where one can enjoy its summer fragrance. In summer, its large, slightly fragrant pale lavender flowers attract pollinators.
Very hardy and easy to care for, it prefers rich, cool, and well-drained soils in partial to light shade. Thanks to its relatively thick foliage, it is generally unattractive to deer, although no hosta is completely safe.
