Hosta 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' Abiqua Drinking Gourd Hosta 3g

Hosta 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' is an award-winning perennial admired for its distinctive cupped, blue-green leaves that create a bold texture and stunning presence in shaded gardens. The deeply corrugated, upward-facing foliage forms a sculptural mound that collects raindrops like tiny “gourds,” adding unique visual interest to borders and woodland landscapes. In midsummer, pale lavender to white flowers rise above the foliage, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. This hardy, long-lived hosta thrives in partial to full shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil. Known for its excellent slug resistance and low maintenance, Abiqua Drinking Gourd provides year-round appeal and pairs beautifully with ferns, astilbes, and heucheras. Perfect for mass plantings, ground cover, or accent displays, it’s a must-have for any shade garden collection.
