Notes

'Sparkling Burgundy' hosta (Hosta 'Sparkling Burgundy') 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. Fragrant lavender flowers open from early to late summer and draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The plant stays 9 to 12 inches tall and spreads 18 to 24 inches.

Pairs well with White phlox, Sorbet peony, and Autumn crocus.
