Description

A Vertical Blue Accent for Borders and Containers

Charles Purtymun registered Hosta 'Abiqua Trumpet' in 1987 at Walden West. He selected it for its narrow, folded leaves that flare upward like a trumpet bell. The foliage emerges with a soft glaucous blue coating that deepens to blue-green through summer. Hardy from zones 3 to 9, it suits Canadian shade gardens from borders to containers. Its distinctly upright, vertical habit sets it apart from typical mounding hostas.

Leaf Shape and Texture: Narrow, deeply cupped, and folded leaves that flare upward at the tips — a distinctive trumpet shape that creates strong vertical interest unlike typical mounding hostas.
Leaf Colour: Glaucous blue-green with a soft waxy coating on emergence that deepens to a rich blue-green through summer; puckered seersucker surface provides natural slug resistance.
Mature Size: 30–40 cm high × 45–60 cm wide (12–16 in × 18–24 in) — compact and upright, well-suited to the front of a border or mixed container.
Flowers: Pale lavender blooms on slender scapes in midsummer, complementing the vertical foliage habit without overwhelming it.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	30–40 cm × 45–60 cm (12–16" × 18–24")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Glaucous blue-green with pale lavender flowers
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Hosta 'Abiqua Trumpet' handles Canadian winters reliably from Zone 3 through 9. Plant in dappled shade to protect the upright leaves from drying out — afternoon sun will flatten the glaucous bloom and dull the blue. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, and our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Abiqua Trumpet' with confirmed trumpet fold and texture, verified before it leaves Bécancour, QC.
