Blue leaves edged in cream give Wolverine a cool, crisp look. The pale rim sharpens the outline of each leaf, and this compact hosta stays small to medium.
Grow it in a pot, as an edging beside a walk or in the first row of a shady bed. Shade keeps the blue at its strongest, and hot afternoon sun does not suit it. Our blue hostas include more cool-coloured varieties.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Wolverine is a compact hosta of small to medium size. Plant it 30–50 cm apart, or grow it in a pot.
In shade, Wolverine keeps its blue colour longest. Partial shade works too, but avoid hot afternoon sun.
Yes, Wolverine suits a pot with drainage holes. Water it regularly, as pots dry out faster than garden soil.
Varieties
The best blue hostas range from the miniature Blue Mouse Ears to giants such as Big Daddy and Blue Angel. Their blue comes from a waxy coating that is thickest in spring and wears off in strong sun, heat and heavy rain, so plant them in shade or morning sun and water gently at the base. Varieties with a thick wax coat keep their colour longest.

Planting
Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Dig plenty of compost or well-rotted manure into the whole bed before planting: it helps clay drain and sandy soil hold water. Avoid ground that stays waterlogged, mulch every spring and feed lightly, because good soil matters more than fertiliser.

Design & companions
A good shade border is built in layers: large hostas and tall partners at the back, medium hostas in the middle and small ones at the front. Repeat a few varieties in groups of three or five, contrast broad hosta leaves with fine ferns or grasses, and add spring bulbs for colour before the hostas wake.
