Notes

'Snowden' hosta (Hosta 'Snowden') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, 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 in early to late summer, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the fragrant flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plant it near a path so you can enjoy the scent.

Pairs well with Eastern columbine, Fernleaf peony, and Little Hottie panicle hydrangea.
