Hosta ‘Dream Queen’


Hosta

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.276.430


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 midsized specimen selection has rounded blue-green leaves with a streaky ivory-white centre. White flowers appear in July. Protect from hot afternoon sun to prevent scorching. Clumps may be easily divided in the spring or fall. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others. A sport of H.‘Great Expectations', this has a similar appearance to H.‘Thunderbolt'.
