Description
Bring dramatic foliage to your Massachusetts shade garden with the Humpback Whale Hosta. Known for its massive blue-green, heart-shaped leaves, this hosta delivers its boldest color in springtime, especially in light to full shade. Near-white flowers bloom on tall scapes in early summer, adding subtle elegance to your landscape. It’s a perfect choice for shady borders, groundcover, or mass plantings.
The Humpback Whale Hosta thrives in the cooler New England climate, forming a dense mound that anchors any perennial bed. Its textured leaves and sturdy habit make it ideal for low-maintenance gardens in Massachusetts. Clean up old foliage in early spring and enjoy reliable performance year after year. Pair it with finer-leaved plants for striking contrast in texture.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
