Silver Bullet Hosta – Bare Root Shade Perennial with Thick Blue Foliage | Slug Resistant
Add bold texture and cool blue color to your shade garden with Silver Bullet Hosta, a compact yet striking variety known for its thick rounded blue foliage and excellent slug resistance. Often compared to a giant version of the Blue Mouse Ears Hosta, this plant forms a dense clump of heavily textured leaves that maintain their attractive blue tone throughout the growing season.
Its thick foliage provides strong resistance to slugs and garden pests, making it an easy-care choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, hosta collections, and patio containers. Near-white flowers rise just above the foliage, adding soft contrast and seasonal interest during bloom time. These healthy starter plants ship bare-root and are ready for planting upon arrival.
