In recent years the hosta has become the number one perennial plant in the United States. Having foliage of blue, gold, green, or white, with or without variegation, makes the hosta a versatile plant. Leaves range from less than one inch to more than 20 inches across.
Hosta ‘Powder Blue’ was originated by H. Sugita and P. Ruh and introduced by P. Ruh in 1998. It’s classified as a large hosta with unknown parentage. ‘Powder Blue’ has a moderate growth rate and reaches a height of about 27 inches with a width of 38 inches. See the full characteristics in the Hosta Treasury.

2025 NWHS Memorial Garden Clean-up at Dahl-Roeder Memorial Garden, Wilson Park

April 27, 2025 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Add to my calendar

This year’s Dahl-Roeder Memorial Garden cleanup should go fairly quickly, as the mulch really helped keep the weeds down last year. Last fall, a new sidewalk replaced the uneven shale path so we might want to do some border adjusting. There are a few bare areas, so if you have any of the more deer resistant varieties to spare, please bring them along with tools to rake, weed, dig, and containers to haul away debris.
