Hosta ‘Chain Lightning’


Hosta

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.710.130


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 medium sized selection features corrugated, grey-green leaves with an irregular yellowish-white centre. Lavender flowers appear in mid summer. 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. Slugs may need to be controlled.
