A Deep Lapis Chalice Emerging from Golden Roots
Hosta 'Cerulean Magic' is a 2009 registration from Mark Zilis, born from a cross between the stately Hosta 'Gold Regal' and the intensely sapphire-hued Hosta 'Blue Vision'. It inherits a thick, glaucous bloom that creates a mesmerising beryl-to-cobalt appearance, forming a sturdy, mound-like presence that serves as a tranquil, cooling anchor for shade borders from the wind-swept prairies to the humid valleys of the Saint Lawrence.
-
Intense Glaucous Bloom: The leaves are coated in a heavy, waxy powder on both surfaces, giving the plant a rich, matte sapphire finish in early summer.
-
Superior Substance: Foliage is remarkably thick and durable, providing excellent resilience against the fluctuating weather of Canadian springs.
-
Ovate Elegance: Each leaf features 11 deep vein pairs and a classic heart-shaped base, lending a formal, structured look to the mid-sized mound.
-
Seasonal Metamorphosis: The waxy cerulean tones gradually transition to a deep, lustrous forest green by August.

Grower's Tip: Because Hosta 'Cerulean Magic' undergoes a significant seasonal colour shift, it is essential to witness its spring emergence to confirm its lineage. To ensure you receive a plant with that specific, heavy blue-green wax, we never ship dormant eyes. Our team monitors the thawing stock pots in Bécancour to verify the glaucous bloom and ovate form are True to Type before your specimen is carefully packed for travel.
