Notes
Siebold's hosta (Hosta sieboldiana) is a perennial for shade borders, woodland gardens, and foliage contrast. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part to full shade and average moisture. Pale purple to white flowers open in early to mid summer. Plants can reach 24 to 60 inches tall and spread 24 to 30 inches, so give each one room to grow.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Ostrich fern, and Incrediball hydrangea.
