'Daybreak' hosta (Hosta 'Daybreak') is a perennial for borders, 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 moisture. It bears lavender-blue flowers from early to late summer, and they are fragrant. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
