Halcyon hosta
Hosta 'Halcyon'
Overview
Halcyon hosta (Hosta 'Halcyon') is a beautiful shade-tolerant perennial. Clusters of pointed blue-green foliage form a rounded, dense mound that creates an attractive accent in garden beds. Its showy, light-lavender flowers rise above the textured leaves and bloom in midsummer. Requiring little maintenance, Halcyon hosta grows slowly to a mature height of 18 to 20 inches and a width of 24 to 30 inches. The foliage provides an excellent backdrop for other shade-loving plants in a range of soil types, and its resilience to slug damage and deer make it a good choice for gardeners in cooler climates.
