In most species of plants, blue leaves are uncommon. There is a tremendous variety of blue hostas which can have spectacular foliage. There are many options with blue hostas with sizes from mini to giant, smooth to seersuckered leaves, leaves cupped up or down, and forms from mound-shaped to vase-like. Blue hostas are an easy way to add drama to almost any garden.
Blue Hostas and Maturity
takes from four to five years before a hosta is considered “mature.” The maximum output of wax, and thus the bluest blue or grayest gray, is generated at maturity. Note that hostas can emit the blue-coloring wax at different times in the season, making some bluest earlier in the season and some bluest later in the season.
Where to Plant Blue Hostas
Be careful where you plant your blue hostas because too much sun can melt off the wax. At the same time, no hosta will thrive in deep shade with no sunlight. Besides too much sun, the wax can also come off from rainfall, overhead watering or wind, but sun and heat will cause the most damage. Without the wax, the hosta can be exposed to burning.

In the southern USA hostas may remain blue only until late June whereas in the north they may remain blue the entire season in less heat. Since most blue hostas only have one flush of leaves per year, if blue color is lost at any point during the season, it will remain so until the following year. For best results, plant where they will receive some morning or evening sun and avoid the hot overhead afternoon sun.
