Cascading Emerald Waves of Ruffled Satin Texture
An absolute pinnacle of breeding for form and texture, Hosta 'Celtic Bouquet' is a sophisticated 2011 registration from the renowned Don Dean. This variety is a masterclass in parentage, combining the genetics of (Liberty Bell × (Urajiro Hachijo × pycnophylla) × Whimsey) with (Party Favor × Grand Slam) to create a truly unique garden presence. A flared, mound-like performer, it brings a sense of refined drama to the Canadian landscape, whether thriving in the humid summers of Southern Ontario or the cool, crisp air of the Maritimes.
-
Architectural Foliage: Nearly round, heart-shaped leaves feature deep, impressed veins and a moderately corrugated texture that feels like heavy parchment.
-
Lustrous Sheen: The leaf surfaces are exceptionally shiny on top, creating a brilliant, wet-look glow that reflects light in dappled woodland settings.
-
Stunning Contrast: In midsummer, the clump is transformed by 64–73 cm (25–29") glaucous black-purple scapes that provide a sharp, dark counterpoint to the emerald foliage.
-
Unique Floral Detail: Medium lavender, bell-shaped flowers emerge alongside distinctive green bracts that often display a surprising rose-pink centre.

Grower’s Tip: Hosta 'Celtic Bouquet' is a moderate grower that rewards the patient gardener with incredible substance and pie-crust rippled margins as it matures. Because its most striking features — the black scapes and corrugated texture — must be seen to be believed, we never ship sight unseen. We wait for the first flush of spring growth in Bécancour to observe these specific traits and ensure every plant is True to Type before it leaves our nursery.
