Notes
'Cameo' hosta (Hosta 'Cameo') is a perennial for borders, containers, shade gardens, and rock 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It tolerates salt, has fragrant blooms, and draws bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Its small spread of 12 inches suits tight spots.
