Hosta ‘Blue Cadet’ is a charming mid-sized blue hosta that forms a neat, dense mound of steel-blue, heart-shaped leaves. In mid to late summer, it sends up lavender bell-shaped flowers on slender 24″ (60 cm) scapes, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. Exceptionally adaptable, this variety thrives in fine shade gardens, borders, or containers, requiring little maintenance beyond regular watering. Its moderate slug resistance and compact form make it a versatile, low-drama addition to any garden.
