Hosta ‘White Dove’


Hosta

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.711.040


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 sized selection is quite showy and features narrow, arching green leaves with a bright white margin. White flowers appear mid summer making an interesting combination. 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. Pod parent is H. ‘Beatrice’.
