The Story
Hosta - Cool as a Cucumber
This elegant and vigorous hosta forms a large, cascading mound of long, tapered leaves that graduate from upright in youth to gently arching with age. Its sensational foliage features crisp, clear white centers framed by bright green margins, offering outstanding visual impact in shade. In early summer, creamy‑white to pale lavender flower stalks rise delicately above the foliage, attracting hummingbirds and adding vertical interest. Hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives in moist, well‑drained soil under part shade to full shade, making it an excellent specimen or border option for shady gardens and containers.
