Description

Hosta ‘First Frost’ is an award-winning variety, combining strong garden performance with dramatic two-tone foliage. It forms mounds of thick blue-green leaves with contrasting yellow margins. The colour of the leaves deepens as summer progresses whilst the margins become whiter.  Tubular, lavender flowers are carried on blue stems from mid to late summer. Its robust foliage stands up beautifully until the first frosts, hence its name, and the thick leaves are also reported to be less attractive to slugs. Hosta ‘First Frost’ has been recognised with an RHS Award of Garden Merit and was voted 2010 Hosta of the Year by the American Hosta Growers Association.

Hostas are one of the best foliage plants for light shade. Mass them together in borders for a spectacular display or plant them into patio containers as individual specimens. These resilient, easy-grow, hardy perennials will reward you with fresh colourful foliage each spring, lasting right through to autumn. Height: 45cm (18in). Spread: 90cm (35in).

How to Grow
Grow Hosta plants in sun or dappled shade, on rich, moist, well-drained soil. Plants can grow well in a sunny border, but will need to be kept reliably moist. Plants may perform better on slightly acid soils. Before planting, work some fresh compost or general fertiliser into the top 20cm of the soil. Alternatively plant Hostas in patio containers in soil based compost.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
In autumn, remove old foliage and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant. Lift and divide Hosta plants in autumn every third year to maintain their vigour.
