Hosta Halcyon 2 litre

Blue-grey leaves that brighten up a shady corner, with lavender-blue flowers through summer that the bees enjoy. Hostas are also called plantain lilies, and this is a good one for edging a pond or giving a balcony pot some foliage interest. It dies back in winter.

Good to know: 50 x 20cm. Part or full shade, moist but well-drained soil. Fully hardy. Mulch the crown in autumn or early spring.
