Hosta - Elegans
'Elegans', Hosta sieboldiana, is an extra large hosta with heart-shaped leaves.  Being blue-green in color, it has a heavy, deeply tucked texture with powdery like cast which make it very striking! The white flowers bloom from July to August, and this plant has a height of 30” and a spread of 48-60”.  'Elegans' provides bright color in shade with its colorful textured foliage. Hosta ‘Elegans’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained area.  This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions.  Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.   Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! 'Elegans' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. This blue-green giant hosta will certainly be outstanding wherever it is planted! * Textured * Heart shaped leaves * Blue-green foliage
