Hosta ‘Sieboldiana’

Hosta ‘Sieboldiana’ has bold, round, seer-suckered, thick, metallic blue-green leaves that form a huge mound reaching 5′ if left to mature. This grandfather of large blue hostas is a gem and truly a sight to behold! It is larger than other selections and sure to attract attention. Resists slug damage. The plant may be divided every few years or left undisturbed indefinitely. Hosta’s perform well in woodland settings where filtered light is abundant.
