Hosta × 'Blue Ivory' is a medium hosta prized for its cool blue-green foliage and bold ivory margins. You will get a neat, mounded clump that brightens shaded beds and looks great as an edging plant or underplanting in woodland-style plantings.
Give it part shade to full shade for best leaf color and performance. Morning sun is usually fine, but hot afternoon sun can scorch the leaf edges, especially in drier soils. In summer, slender flower scapes rise above the foliage with lavender blooms that add a light, airy accent without taking attention away from the leaves.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and water during dry spells to keep growth steady. Mulch helps conserve moisture and keeps roots cool. Clean up tired foliage at season's end, divide clumps when they outgrow their space, and watch for slugs or snails that can chew holes in leaves. Deer may browse hostas, so protect plants if needed.
