Queen of the Seas Hosta
Huge Heart Makes SplashHosta Queen of the Seas, Hosta 'Queen of the Seas', lets you make a statement in your garden. This new dynamic, vibrant, blue hosta has a tall, upright form and forms a huge 48” clump!The 'Queen of the Seas' displays large, blue-green leaves that have wavy pie-crust margins, and are heart shaped.The nearly white flowers are produced in early to midsummer. Hosta 'Queen of the Seas' won the Best of Show award at the 1997 American Hosta Society national convention!In midsummer, the 'Queen of the Seas' clumps are topped with 3' spikes of nearly white flowers. 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. It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves. 'Queen of the Seas' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plants.If you want to add some architectural interest and color to your shade garden, be sure to include 'Queen of the Seas'!*Huge Wavy Edged Blue Leaves*Nearly White Flowers*Huge Clumping Habit
