Description
A Chelsea showstopper in a pot, Hosta ‘Silly String’ is no ordinary shade-lover.
This striking perennial wowed the judges as a runner-up for RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year in 2025, and it’s not hard to see why. With its finely textured, steel-blue leaves that twist and ripple like streamers in the breeze, this sculptural Hosta offers a refreshing spin on traditional garden favourites.
Unlike broader-leaved varieties, ‘Silly String’ has narrow, elongated foliage that adds instant movement and a cool, contemporary feel to beds, borders, and containers. It’s the perfect choice for brightening up partially shaded corners, underplanting trees, or styling a modern courtyard.
In summer, tall flower spikes rise from the foliage, topped with delicate pale purple blooms, adding height, texture and a welcome pop of seasonal colour.
Compact, easy to care for, and incredibly hardy, this perennial will return year after year with minimal effort. A designer look without the designer fuss.
Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm pot, ready to plant.
