Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta features rounded, greenish-blue leaves with crinkled surfaces and lavender florets. This large hosta, otherwise known as Hosta Shadowland® 'Above the Clouds' PP34341, grows to a maximum height of 2 to 3 feet and spread of 4 to 5 feet. Bred by Proven Winners, this herbaceous perennial grows well in borders, beds, and containers. In addition to providing interest with its dramatic foliage and attractive flowers, this shade-loving plant attracts many pollinators including hummingbirds. With Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta, you no longer need to look above the clouds to find your field of calming blue; instead, you can just look down at this perennial’s unique blue foliage and feel the peace as you walk by your garden every day.
Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta is relatively disease resistant. It is not deer resistant so pair it with deer-resistant plants such as bleeding heart, columbine, and ferns if deer are a problem in your area. This large hosta, originating from Asia, is deciduous and grows with a mounding habit. Low maintenance, this plant is the perfect choice for any gardener yearning to add color and texture to shadier parts of a landscape.
Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta Care
While Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta tolerates some sun, it thrives in full shade. Choose a spot that gets less than 4 hours of direct sun and has loamy, acidic, well-draining soil. Amend the soil with peat moss/coco coir or compost if you have poor, compact soil. Plant this hosta in March or September. Provide this blue hosta with one inch of water per week, and check for moisture prior to watering. Feed this lovely perennial a balanced (10-10-10) fertilizer annually during the spring at half the recommended strength.
Trim any diseased, dead, or damaged leaves throughout spring until fall. In fall after the first frost, cut back the dead leaves.
Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta Spacing
Plant Shadowland® Above the Clouds Hosta in beds and borders with other shade-loving plants such as coral bells, ferns, and hydrangeas. Space plants about 5 feet apart. When grown in containers in a thriller-spiller-filler combination, this large hosta is a superb filler plant.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
