Prairie Sky Hosta (Hosta 'Prairie Sky')
Prairie Sky Hosta (Hosta 'Prairie Sky') is a medium-sized shade perennial prized for its powdery blue foliage and elegant form. One of the truest blue hostas available, it brings cool-toned contrast and refined texture to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and container plantings.
