Notes
'Elvis Lives' hosta (Hosta 'Elvis Lives') 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. Lavender flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It stays 12 to 18 inches tall, so it fits well at the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Sorbet peony, Cutleaf toothwort, Autumn crocus, and Canada wild rye.
