Notes

'Arc de Triomphe' hosta (Hosta 'Arc de Triomphe') 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. It bears fragrant lavender blooms from early to late summer, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Salt tolerance makes it a fit for spots near roads or walks.

Pairs well with Alertie peony, Piilu clematis, and Canada wild rye.
