Notes

'Plug Nickel' hosta (Hosta 'Plug Nickel') is a perennial for shade gardens, rock gardens, borders, and low maintenance beds. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Lavender flowers open from early to late summer, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Sedge, Sorbet peony, and Thalia daffodil.
