Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans'

This Hosta grows to about 30 inches tall with large, 12-inch leaves. We recommend spacing them 24 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and to accommodate their architectural spread.

Yes, 'Elegans' is notably resilient and can thrive in dry shade, even under the root systems of trees where many other plants struggle. While it prefers evenly moist soil, it is one of the more adaptable varieties for challenging garden spots.

While no plant is completely immune, Hosta 'Elegans' is widely recognized for having better resistance to deer and slugs compared to many other Hosta varieties. Its thick, textured foliage makes it less appealing to pests than thinner-leaved options.

It is a low-maintenance perennial. You only need to remove the spent flower spikes in midsummer and cut the foliage back to the ground once it dies back in the late fall.

Absolutely. Hosta 'Elegans' is hardy in USDA Zones 3 through 9, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of climates, including very cold northern regions.

In midsummer, the plant produces whitish, lily-like flowers. These bloom on tall stems that can reach up to 40 inches, adding a nice vertical element above the blue-green foliage.
