Description

Intense Blue, Skyward Form, Season-Long Colour

Don Dean registered Hosta 'Astral Bliss' in 2011 as a seedling of H. 'Cutting Edge'. Its lanceolate leaves are intensely blue-green with a heavy glaucous bloom on both surfaces. Each leaf is lightly twisted, moderately folded, and finished with a moderately wavy margin. It forms a distinctive upright flared mound, 38 cm (15") tall and 76 cm (30") wide. It performs reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9.

Exceptional Blue Retention: One of the most resilient blues in the trade — the thick, waxy glaucous bloom holds on both leaf surfaces well into autumn, long after other blue hostas have faded.
Upright Flared Habit: The distinctive skyward-reaching form provides a dramatic vertical element that works beautifully at the front of a border or in a collector's bed.
Heavy Leaf Substance: Thick, sturdy foliage inherited from 'Cutting Edge' parentage offers superior resistance to slugs and holds its form through the full Canadian growing season.
Multi-Toned Scapes: In late summer, scapes reaching 56–64 cm (22–25") transition from a dusty rose base to glaucous pale green, carrying delicate lavender tubular flowers.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	38 cm × 76 cm (15" × 30")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Intensely blue-green, heavy glaucous bloom on both surfaces
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Plant 'Astral Bliss' in a slightly elevated position where its upright flared habit and twisted leaf tips can be appreciated at eye level — it rewards a thoughtful placement. It handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, holding its glaucous blue colour far longer than most. At our nursery in Bécancour, QC, we monitor every division to confirm the waxy bloom and heavy substance are fully established before shipping. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Hosta 'Astral Bliss', verified before it leaves Bécancour.
