Hosta 'Blue Biscuit'
T. Avent 21
Item #: 13310
Zones: 3a to 8b
Dormancy: Winter
Height: 6" tall
Origin: Hybrid
We've spent years trying to create small, cupped/corrugated blue-leaf hostas with excellent vigor and heat tolerance, and we are pleased to finally release Hosta 'Blue Biscuit'. This 2021 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction is a 2005 seedling, resulting from crosses involving Hosta 'Big Daddy', Hosta 'Silver Bay', and Hosta venusta. Hosta 'Blue Biscuit' forms a 6" tall x 15" wide tight clump topped with stalks of lavender flowers in early summer. Blue Biscuit holds its blue color well into the summer, but even after the blue wax melts, the plant remains looking nice.
