Hosta ‘Hands Up’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.710.700


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 forms an upright mound featuring narrow, twisted, rubbery, dark green leaves with a defined cream margin. Very unique. Tetraploid sport of H. ‘Praying Hands’. Lavender flowers in summer. 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.
