H. ‘Blue Saucers’

Overview

Registered in 1977 by L. Powell, this large blue-green hosta resulted from a cross between *H. 'Elegans'* (pod parent) and *H. 'Frances Williams'* (pollen parent). 'Blue Saucers' is distinguished by its broad, cordate-based leaves with blue margins and prominent veining, forming a substantial mound.

In the Garden

'Blue Saucers' reaches a mature spread of 36 inches (91.4 cm) and height of 36 inches (91.4 cm), making it suitable for mid-border or specimen placement in partial to full shade. Its large, textured leaves pair well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Not recommended for container culture due to its size.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage foliage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
