Hosta ‘Valley Glacier’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.710.530


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 selection is a sport of H. ‘First Frost’ and features heart-shaped, blue leaves with very wide yellow margins that change to cream later in the season. Lavender flowers in mid summer. 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.
