Hosta ‘Sea Octopus’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.278.620


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 small specimen selection has mid-green leaves that are heavily ruffled. Showy lavender flowers appear in August. Suitable also 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. Divide every 2 to 3 years in order to maintain the rippled leaf habit. An interesting and unusual selection, ideal in the rock garden.
