Notes

'Abby' hosta (Hosta 'Abby') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average moisture. Fragrant lavender flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The plant reaches 6 to 18 inches tall.

Pairs well with Blue wood aster, Canada wild rye, and Sorbet peony.
