Quick Overview:

Wishing Well is a large hosta prized for holding its beautiful blue color long into the season, even when planted in 2/3 day of sun.  Its huge leaves emerge slowly, exhibiting a unique cupped, rippled, corrugated texture.  They unfold slowly as they mature.  Since they are of thick substance, the leaves are more slug resistant.  This large hosta has a good growth rate compared to some other large blues.  Near-white flowers begin to appear in midsummer and last into late summer.

Description

Easily grown in evenly moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Best in part shade (some morning sun or sun dappled conditions). Established plants have some tolerance for dry shade (particularly plants with thick leaves), but soils should never be allowed to dry out. Full size and quality form are best achieved with consistent moisture. Water is best applied directly to the soil beneath the leaves. Divide plants as needed in spring or autumn. Division is usually easiest in early spring before the leaves unfurl. Plant in locations protected from wind.
