Notes
'Snake Eyes' hosta (Hosta 'Snake Eyes') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, and containers. 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 soil of most types. Lavender flowers in summer attract bees and hummingbirds. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it room, since it spreads wide.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Bigleaf hydrangea, and Astilbe.
