The Hosta ‘Lancifolia’ was reported to be the first Hosta in America. The oval to lance-shaped, shiny green and slightly wavy foliage, makes this variety very striking. The dark purple flowers bloom from July to August, however, Hosta’s are not known only for their flowers. With a plant height of 12” and a spread of 32-36”, Hosta’s provide bright color in shade with wonderful foliage. Hosta ‘Lancifolia’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained area. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses. A great choice for any beginner gardener.
