{"product_id":"hosta-andrew","title":"Hosta 'Andrew' | Blue-green leaves with snowy-white centre","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Masterpiece of High-Contrast\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true aristocrat of the shade garden, Hosta 'Andrew' is a breathtaking sport of 'Blue Mammoth' that demands centre stage in any Canadian collection. This cultivar is renowned for its thick, heavily puckered, blue-green leaves that feature a dramatic, snowy-white centre and narrow green jetting where the two colours meet. It brings a rare architectural elegance to the landscape, forming a compact, dense mound of corrugated foliage that captures the eye from across the yard. Given its slower growth rate, it is a plant for the patient connoisseur, rewarding the gardener with a stunning, multi-toned display that remains vibrant from the first spring thaw until the first autumn frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStriking Tricolour Effect:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features deep blue-green margins, a pure white centre, and unique light green transition zones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstantial Leaf Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The thick, puckered (seersucker) leaves offer excellent substance and natural slug resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique Vertical Growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike many spreading hostas, Hosta 'Andrew' has a more upright, tiered habit that showcases each leaf perfectly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer Blooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Produces pale lavender, tubular flowers on short scapes that don't distract from the dramatic foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53 cm Height \/ 82 cm Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanadian Zones 3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue-green margins with a creamy-white centre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Shade to Light Part Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrower's Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Hosta 'Andrew' has a slower growth rate and a high percentage of white in the leaf, it prefers a spot with deep, consistent shade to prevent the centres from \"melting out\" during a hot Quebec summer.
