Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring.
Design Ideas
Use this sizable solid-green Hosta as background foliage or as a blooming perennial with its spikes of scented white flowers. Takes filtered sun and makes a great filler for perennial beds in cool climates. Works well as a foundation planting or to screen the sides of steps.
