Notes
'American Halo' hosta (Hosta 'American Halo') is a perennial for borders, containers, shade gardens, 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 to moist, loamy or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads 59 to 71 inches, so give it room. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the flowers.
