Hosta ‘Shade Fanfare’
Plant number: 1.278.640
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 mid-sized selection has lime-green leaves with a smart white to creamy-yellow edge. Lavender flowers appear in July. Especially good for massing or edging. 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.
