Hosta ‘Fortunei Albopicta’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.277.100


Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This medium-size selection has bright yellow leaves with a green margin in spring, fading to all-green during the summer. Pale lavender flowers appear in July. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. Easily divided in either spring or fall, but plants may be left alone for years. Slugs may need to be controlled. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others.
