In the Garden
‘Abiqua Pagoda’ reaches 28 inches (71.1 cm) in height and spreads to 38 inches (96.5 cm) in diameter, making it suitable as a bold specimen or focal point in shaded borders and woodland gardens. It performs best in partial to full shade, where its blue foliage color is most intense. Companion plants include ferns, Heuchera, and other shade-tolerant perennials that contrast with its broad leaves.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage the foliage, so monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
