Hosta ‘Sting’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.710.780


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. ‘Anne’. Leaves are thick and dark green with a white flamed centre. Lavender flowers 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.
