Hosta ‘Halcyon’

My Hosta ‘Halcyon’ is an unusually beautiful powdery blue and until last year had always stayed this color all season. Last spring I moved it to another area in another garden because I wanted to showcase this hosta’s lovely color, and to my surprise after a few weeks the color had changed to the rather dull blue that is usually seen in photographs of this hosta. I moved my Halcyon back to its shadier old home again last fall, and I was happy to see that this year the hosta’s coloration is back to that powdery blue that is so striking.

Halcyon produces a lot of seed pods and has given me some interesting seedlings, including a few with that same lovely color.
