Hosta Arctic Blast, Hosta 'Arctic Blast', has leaves that are frosted blue with white undersides, and the leaf margins are wavy with twisted pointed tips. Hosta 'Arctic Blast' has a vase-like, upright habit, and produces trumpet-shaped, lavender flowers that are produced on 30" scapes in midsummer. 'Arctic Blast' is a large hosta that originated as a cross of 'Komodo Dragon' x 'Elvis Lives'. This plant would create a great visual display in a decorative container as well as enhance your garden landscape. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas. They are most at home in shady, woodland settings and often work well as specimen or edging plants.
