H. ‘Blauglut’

Overview

Registered in 2003 by Paul and Jean Ruh, this small hosta cultivar is distinguished by its variegated foliage of light green leaves with slightly rippled margins. The leaves are ovate with cordate bases, deeply corrugated, and exhibit moderate twisting and folding with a light wavy texture, creating a compact, textured mound.

In the Garden

Reaching approximately 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) in height and 16 inches (40.6 cm) in diameter, 'Blauglut' forms a dense, mound-like clump with a moderate growth rate. Its small size and compact habit make it suitable for the front of shaded borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. It pairs well with other small perennials such as ferns, heucheras, or miniature hostas in typical hosta-growing zones.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage foliage, so monitor and manage as needed.
