My Stained Glass Hosta is starting to bloom! I didn't think it would this year, largely because I got the plants (two of them) quite late.
Here's what I've found out about this new addition to my garden:
- They grow in zones 3 - 9.
- They are perennial.
- They bloom in late summer or fall (mine bloomed near the end of September).
- The blossoms are very fragrant.
- They are very sun tolerant, although prefer some shade.
- They prefer rich and moist, but well drained soil.
- They attract bees, birds and butterflies.
- They divide easily, and root easily in water.
