Hosta Hudson Bay (Plantain Lily)

Hosta 'Hudson Bay' (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming a pretty mound of thick, broadly heart-shaped, creamy white leaves with wide blue-green margins. Retaining their pretty variegation all season long, the leaves are of heavy substance, exhibiting good slug resistance in the landscape. Racemes of near-white flowers appear just above the foliage in early summer. Moderately fast-growing, this variegated hosta is excellent for borders but also suitable for planting in mixed containers and tubs.

• Grows up to 24 in. tall (60 cm) and 24 in. wide (60 cm).
• Performs best in part shade to full shade in fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Shelter from cold, dry winds.
• Perfect for the shade garden, mixed with other perennials in bed and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens or containers. Excellent in mass plantings.
