Hosta - Skywriter
A stellar choice for blue-foliage enthusiasts, Hosta ‘Skywriter’, the 2025 American Hosta Growers Association’s Hosta of the Year, dazzles with its ruffled, steely‑aqua leaves, accented by crisp white undersides and vivid purple petioles that peek through in its semi‑upright habit. Its striking texture and color make it an elegant focal point in shade borders. In mid to late summer, the foliage is topped by delicate lavender blooms on purple scapes, offering additional charm and pollinator appeal. Bred by Dan Wols, ‘Skywriter’ boasts a refined aesthetic and excellent performance.
