Hosta ‘Blue Umbrellas’
Plant number: 1.278.080
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 large specimen has big blue-green leaves with a downward cup shaped. Pale lavender flowers appear in June. Will tolerate some direct sun. 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. Good slug resistance. Elegans group.
