Hosta ‘Moonlight’
Plant number: 1.278.980
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 medium-size selection has leaves that start green, then change to yellow with a white edge, with lavender flowers in July. Morning sun will bring out the best foliage colour. 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.
