Hosta Skywriter: The 2025 Hosta of the Year

The Hosta Skywriter is a stunning addition to any shade garden, celebrated as the 2025 Hosta of the Year. This perennial beauty features uniquely ruffled blue leaves elegantly held up by bright purple petioles, revealing white undersides due to their slightly upright growth. The leaves seem to sway in all directions, creating a stunning clump that adds texture and visual interest to your outdoor space. In late summer, enjoy the lovely lavender flowers atop striking purple scapes, providing a touch of color when many other shade plants have finished blooming.

Our Hosta plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots, ensuring they develop large, healthy root systems. Unlike small liners, these plants are ready to be planted directly into your garden, providing an instant impact and mature look. We guarantee you will receive a true-to-type, healthy plant that you will love for years to come. During early spring, plants may still be breaking dormancy, so they may appear smaller than they will be when fully leafed out.
