Hosta ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ – Large Blue Shade Perennial | 3 Inch Starter Plant
Create a dramatic focal point in your shade garden with Hosta ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’, a giant blue hosta prized for its enormous size, graceful form, and stunning blue foliage. This perennial forms a broad, spreading mound of large heart-shaped leaves with gently ruffled edges, adding bold texture and elegant color to shaded landscapes.
Its powdery blue foliage contrasts beautifully with ferns, astilbes, heucheras, and other shade-loving plants. In midsummer, tall flower scapes rise above the foliage, displaying delicate pale lavender blooms that attract pollinators and add seasonal interest.
