Hosta ‘Northern Halo’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.278.520


Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This large specimen selection has thick, puckered blue-grey leaves with a creamy-white margin. Near-white flowers appear in July. 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. Good slug resistance. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others. A sport of H. sieboldiana ‘Elegans’ registered by Walters Gardens in 1987.
