Hosta ‘Moonstruck’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.700.540


Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with literally hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This small selection has long, narrow, white-centred leaves with narrow, blue margins. Very upright and a vigorous grower. Lavender flowers appear in midsummer amd may attract hummingbirds. Great for edging. Suitable also for planting in mixed containers and 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 also be left alone for years. Reverse variegation of Sport H. ‘Dress Blues’.
