Hosta 'Sapphire Pillows' is a large, attractive hosta variety known for its striking blue foliage and luxurious appearance. 

Foliage
  • Color: Intense sapphire blue, retaining its blue hue longer into the season than many other blue hostas. Some sources describe it as blue-green.
  • Texture: Heavily corrugated.
  • Shape: Broadly ovate, nearly round.
  • Other characteristics: Slightly rippled margins, moderately cupped, and moderately folded at the tip. 
Flowers
  • Color: Near-white with pale lavender centers. Some sources describe the flowers as lavender or pale lavender.
  • Bloom Time: July to August.
  • Fragrance: Not fragrant.

  • Width: Ranges from 39-45 inches wide.
  • Leaf Size: Approximately 20 x 20 cm.
  • Growth Rate: Slow.
Care requirements
  • Hardiness Zones: USDA Zones 3 to 9. Hostas require a minimum of 40 days around 40°F (4.4°C).
  • Light: Partial shade, filtered shade, morning sun. Avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: Even moisture - occasional to regular watering, particularly during dry spells. Avoid soggy conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.
  • Fertilizer: A balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring to promote vigorous development. Avoid getting fertilizer on the leaves.
  • Pest Resistance: Considered slug and snail resistant

Mature size  23" x 45"

Leaves are very sapphire blue with heavy corrugation having slight cupping at the mid-rib and fold at the tip. The blue will hold very late into the season when kept from direct sunlight. Lavender flowers in summer.
