Hosta 'Agawa' | Giant Blue Puckered Shade Hosta Van Wade American Indian Series

Description

A Monumental Legacy of the Lake Superior Region

Van Wade of Wade and Gatton Nursery registered Hosta 'Agawa' in 2007. He named it for the Agawa people of the Lake Superior region as part of his American Indian Series. It grew from a self-pollinated seedling of 'Elegans', inheriting that cultivar's massive, textured presence. The thick, puckered leaves emerge rich blue in spring and mature to deep blue-green through summer. It grows reliably across Canadian zones 3–9 and anchors large-scale woodland landscapes with commanding presence.

  • Leaf Shape and Texture: Broadly ovate with a cordate base, deeply puckered and seersuckered with thick, heavy substance — elite durability against the elements and natural resistance to slug damage.
  • Leaf Colour: Rich blue on emergence in spring, maturing gradually to a sophisticated deep blue-green as the season progresses — a classic Elegans-heritage colour transition.
  • Mature Size: 97 cm high × 137 cm wide (38 in × 54 in) — one of the true giants, requiring generous space and deep, organically enriched soil to reach full imperial scale.
  • Flowers: Near-white tubular blooms on massive 102 cm (40 in) scapes in late June through July, rising dramatically above the commanding foliage mound.
Feature Specification
Size (H × W) 97 cm × 137 cm (38" × 54")
Hardiness Zone 3–9
Colour Blue maturing to blue-green
Light Requirements Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Hosta 'Agawa' handles Canadian winters reliably from Zone 3 through 9. Its Elegans heritage demands room — give it a generous berth and deep, organically enriched soil to reach full imperial scale. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, and our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Agawa' with confirmed seersucker texture and blue-to-green colour transition, verified before it leaves Bécancour, QC.
