Hosta 'Autumn Frost' (3-Litre Pot)

The 'Autumn Frost' Hosta forms an eye-catching mound of frosty blue-green leaves that are widely margined with bright yellow, fading gradually to cream.

Bell-shaped lavender flowers appear from mid to late summer on 40cm long stems. This Hosta is easy to care for and maintain and will grow to a height of around 30cm and a width of 60cm.

This grown in-house 'Autumn Frost' Hosta is best planted in a shade garden among other perennials in beds and borders. It is perfect for use as groundcover or to underplant shrubs and roses and can be used in both city and informal cottage gardens.

Plant in a position of partial shade into fertile, moist and well drained soil. Watch for slugs and snails which could damage the attractive foliage, remove spent foliage as required and clear up dead foliage when it dies back at the end of the growing season. Propagate by division in late summer or early spring.
