Description

A Sharp Cobalt Sentinel for the Modern Border

Hosta 'Blue Arrow' is a refined 1982 registration from K. Anderson, offering a disciplined, upright silhouette that carves a distinct path through the Canadian shade garden. This medium-sized cultivar is prized for its narrow, lance-shaped leaves that point skyward like a cluster of flint arrowheads, displaying a deep, waxy sapphire-grey finish. Whether lining a pathway in the Rockies or adding a structural element to an Ontario woodland bed, its tidy habit and cool tones provide a calming influence. At our nursery in Bécancour, we watch for the first sharp points to pierce the soil each spring, ensuring the vertical form and glaucous bloom are True to Type before your selection is cleared for shipping.

Why It Stands Out

Distinct Upright Habit: Features a unique, outward-pointing growth pattern that offers a vertical alternative to more mounded varieties.
Tapered Lancet Foliage: Narrow, sword-like leaves provide a sharp textural contrast to the rounded foliage of traditional hostas.
Persistent Cobalt Glow: Thick leaf substance helps maintain its cool, waxy finish even during the height of a humid Canadian July.
Elegant Midsummer Blooms: Sturdy scapes produce bell-shaped, pale lavender flowers that hover gracefully above the pointed blue canopy.

Technical Specs

Grower’s Tip

Because of its unique arrow-like verticality, Hosta 'Blue Arrow' is an exceptional candidate for mass planting along a narrow walkway where its tidy footprint won’t overflow the path. We believe in providing plants with verified vigour, which is why we never ship dormant roots — we wait for the first signs of life in Bécancour to confirm that the health and architectural form are True to Type, giving your garden a sharp, reliable performer from day one.
