Hosta ‘Fall Bouquet’
Plant number: 1.278.220
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 smaller selection has rippled deep-green leaves, and a very showy display of lavender flowers in the autumn, held on red stems. Great for edging and 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.
