Notes

'Cherry Berry' hosta (Hosta 'Cherry Berry') is a perennial for borders, containers, and shade 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 soil of most types. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Give it room, since it spreads at least 24 inches wide.

Pairs well with Lady fern, Eastern columbine, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
