Hostas are here!

August 3, 2012 By Blue Skys Farm

We’ve got a great selection of interesting hostas for the shady yards that are very common in the yards of Pawtuxet Village.  Here are some photographs and descriptions of the plants that we have for sale.
‘Blue Angel’  Makes
a very large tiered mound of heavily textured blue leaves that can be
as wide as 18 in. in diameter.  Great at the base of small trees or
shrubs.
‘Fire Island’  Beautiful red petioles that extend into the brilliant greenish-yellow leaves that have a flat margin contrasted by the red!  Slightly shiny on top, dull underneath, very wavy. The broadly ovate leaves are slightly corrugated with a distinctly ripped margin. Fast-growing. May be one of the best gold hostas, Lavender flowers in summer. Although the intensity of the foliage lessens in the summer, the intense spring effect is more than special. Lavendar flower are produced in midsummer. Best in full shade
‘Earth Angel’  A huge, bold leave hosta with a high slug resistance.  Chosen as 2009 Hosta of the Year by the American Hosta Society.  A single plant grows over 4′ wide.
