Hosta ‘Fringe Benefit’
Plant number: 1.278.260
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-sized selection produces two leaf shapes; one puckered, broad and heart-shaped, while the other is lance-shaped and deeply veined. Both types of leaves are grey-green in colour, wavy with irregular edges changing from yellow to creamy-white as the season progresses. Pale lavender flowers appear in July. Suitable for planting in mixed containers or tubs. 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. Good slug resistance.
