Shadowland® 'Autumn Frost' Hosta

(Hosta) The extraordinary color of Hosta Shadowland® ‘Autumn Frost’ is derived from a line of champion hostas. ‘Autumn Frost’ is a sport of the 2010 Hosta of the Year, ‘First Frost’ which in turn is a sport of the champion of blue hosta, ‘Halcyon’. The leaves of ‘Autumn Frost’ emerge a frosty blue with extra wide bright yellow margins that lighten to a creamy white during summer. The leaves take on a large oval shape with pointed ends, and are generally thick in nature. Light lavender flowers are produced in mid to late summer and make for beautiful cut flowers for indoor bouquets and enjoyment. This hosta is hardy in zones 3-9 and grows best in part shade to full shade. In the summer, when its beautiful flowers are blooming, it attracts bees and hummingbirds, making it a great pollinator plant for your garden or landscape. Hosta Shadowland® ‘Autumn Frost’ reaches a height of 12 inches and forms a 2 foot wide mound. Its bright green foliage will bring cheer to your garden throughout spring, summer, and into fall.
