H. ‘Heavenly Green’

Overview

Registered in 1997, *Hosta* 'Heavenly Green' is a sport of *H.* 'Seventh Heaven' that produces a medium-sized mound of blue-green foliage. The leaves are slightly shiny above, dull beneath, with slightly rippled margins and cordate bases, reaching 8 inches (20.3 cm) long and 7 inches (17.8 cm) wide with nine vein pairs.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a dense, fast-growing mound 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter and 17 inches (43.2 cm) tall, with scapes rising 22 to 26 inches (55.9 to 66.0 cm). It performs best in partial to full shade, where the blue-green leaf color is most pronounced. Suitable companions include ferns, *Heuchera*, and other shade-tolerant perennials; its medium size makes it appropriate for mixed borders or woodland gardens.

Care Notes

Water regularly during dry periods, particularly in the first growing season. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may cause damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
