Notes

'Saint Paul' hosta (Hosta 'Saint Paul') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, 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 blooms from early to late summer, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the fragrant flowers. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Salt tolerance makes it a fair pick for beds near roads.

Pairs well with Blue wood aster, Fernleaf peony, and Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea.
