Notes
'Queen Josephine' hosta (Hosta 'Queen Josephine') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, cottage gardens, and low maintenance planting. 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, loamy or clay soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads at least 24 inches wide, so give it room. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Astilbe, and Bigleaf hydrangea.
