‘Eola Sapphire’ features broad, heart-shaped leaves in a rich, powdery blue that adds elegance and depth to shady borders and woodland landscapes. The foliage forms a dense, upright mound with a slightly corrugated texture and a waxy finish that helps protect it from sun scorch. In midsummer, tall spikes of pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage, attracting hummingbirds and softening the plant’s bold form. A dependable and long-lived hosta, it thrives in part to full shade and pairs beautifully with ferns, heuchera, and astilbe.
