Quick Guide 

  • Intense glaucous blue foliage
  • Lilac-blue flowers on purple stems
  • Best blue flowering Hosta variety
  • Flowers in late summer
  • Ideal for shade gardens

Hosta 'Halcyon' is acclaimed as the best blue flowering variety of Hosta available, prized for its intense glaucous blue, lance-shaped foliage that sets a striking presence in any garden. This variety outshines others with its depth of foliage colour, providing a vibrant contrast against the greens typically found in shade gardens. In the late summer, 'Halcyon' produces large spikes of lilac-blue flowers, emerging from purple stems, adding a splash of subtle colour and elegance to its already impressive foliage display.

Growing to a height and spread that makes it perfect for border fronts, underplanting in wooded areas, or as a standout container specimen, 'Halcyon' is a must-have for enthusiasts seeking to add texture and colour to shaded garden spaces. Its robust nature and ease of care make it a popular choice, thriving in partial to full shade and enriching the biodiversity of the garden by attracting pollinators to its late-summer blooms.

Plant Care 

Hosta 'Halcyon' flourishes in moist, well-drained soil, thriving best in partial to full shade where its blue foliage can maintain its vibrant hue without the risk of sun scorch. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps the root zone cool. Remove spent flower spikes after blooming to maintain a neat appearance. Although 'Halcyon' is generally low maintenance, watch for slugs and snails which may be attracted to the leaves.

Delivery Timeframes

We aim to deliver orders within 2–4 working days. During peak seasons, such as Christmas, delivery times may vary slightly due to increased demand. We will keep you informed at every stage.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
