Hosta 'Blue Cadet' is a medium-sized perennial with heart-shaped blue-green foliage that matures to a true green by summer. By mid-summer, you should expect to see pale lavender flowers appear atop tall stems. As fall approaches, their leaves turn to a beautiful golden-yellow. Because Blue Cadet Hostas are fairly low-growing, they are great plants for container plantings, too.
This shade-loving perennial will grow vigorously as long as it is given plenty of shaded time in your garden. Hostas grow best in rich, well-draining soils. They can handle a bit of morning sun, but too much will hinder their growth. Blue Cadet Hostas are slightly drought tolerant; to ensure optimal growth: their soil should be kept moist.
