Blue Hawaii Hosta makes the most of its shade-loving nature with richly blue-toned heart-shaped leaves that glow in dappled light and bring a cool, restful quality to the woodland garden and shaded border. The powder-blue foliage holds its distinctive color through the growing season, then transitions to warm shades of golden yellow and copper-bronze in fall for a quiet final flourish before dormancy. In summer, slender spikes of lavender-purple flowers rise above the mound, adding vertical interest to the layered shade planting. It forms a compact 12 to 18 inch clump that works beautifully as a groundcover mass or a repeated accent throughout the border, and it handles the challenging root environment of black walnut trees without complaint. Like all hostas, it thrives with consistent moisture and rewards a top dressing of compost each spring with especially rich foliage color. A graceful and refined choice for transforming a difficult shade situation into a true garden asset.

Prairie Blue Little Bluestem is a fine-textured native grass that earns its place through four-season structure and a brilliant fall display—its narrow blue-green summer foliage giving way to rich burgundy and copper-bronze color as the weather cools, then standing in beautiful form through winter. A native of Great Lakes prairies and grasslands, it grows in a tidy mounding clump reaching two to three feet tall, adapting readily to poor, dry soils in full sun and asking for almost nothing once established. Airy seed heads appear in late summer and fall, feeding sparrows and finches well into the cold months. It is exceptionally drought tolerant and handles clay, sandy, and rocky soils with equal ease. Plant it in drifts along a sunny slope for erosion control, or mass it across a meadow-style planting where its changing seasonal display can be fully appreciated.
