Hosta ‘Allan P. McConnell’
Plant number: 1.278.010
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 smaller selection forms a dense mound of bright green leaves with a thin white edge. Lavender flowers appear in July. Nice for edging. 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. Easily divided in either spring or fall, but plants may be left alone for years. Slugs may be a problem.
