Description:
Hosta, also known as Plantain Lily, is a favorite perennial among shade garden enthusiasts, bringing elegance to any landscape. The 'Blue' variety is especially notable for its stunning blue-green foliage, providing a striking contrast in shaded areas. Each plant can grow up to 2 feet tall and wide, creating an impressive and lush display. Beyond its eye-catching leaves, Hostas produce charming flowers in shades of white, lavender, and purple. Hosta ventricosa, a natural tetraploid, undergoes "pseudogamous apomixis," meaning it breeds true and is not useful for hybridization.

Growing Instructions:
Hostas are easy to grow, thriving in partial to full shade. They prefer moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate periods of drought. For the best visual impact, plant in groups of three or more, spacing them 24 inches apart on the soil surface, and lightly cover the seeds with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and in sun until germination, which can take 30-60 days. To maintain their beauty, divide clumps every 3-4 years.
