Hosta First Frost

Hosta 'First Frost' is wonderful hosta, and one of the best sports to be discovered from Hosta 'Halcyon'...the reverse pattern of Hosta 'June'. This Patricia Scolnik discovery adds a nice creamy-yellow margin to the attractive blue leaves of the parent. The result is a 3' wide clump of blue leaves with a 0.5" border of creamy yellow that ages to white by season's end. The clumps are topped with 2' tall scapes of light lavender flowers in midsummer...a hummingbird fiesta. We think Hosta 'First Frost' will become a long-term favorite of hosta growers worldwide. Maintenance: Other than clearing away the dead foliage in fall, Hosta 'First Frost' should be a maintenance free perennial. Voles and deer are two pests that will need to be addressed if they are a problem in your area. If you experience hail on your hosta, they can be immediately cut to the ground, and they will re-flush with new leaves. If the hail occurs late in the summer, you may be better off to just leave the foliage inta
