Hosta Silver Bullet #1

Common Name: Hosta

Like a giant ‘Blue Mouse Ears’, ‘Silver Bullet’ creates a densely packed clump of very thick, rounded blue leaves. The thick foliage provides great slug resistance. Near white flowers are held just above the foliage. While this technically meets the classification of a medium-sized Hosta, the landscape presence is more in accordance with a small Hosta.

Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today’s gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
