Notes
'Vanilla Cream' hosta (Hosta 'Vanilla Cream') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, and rock 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 stays low at 6 to 9 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches wide. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Fragrant lavender flowers open from early to late summer and draw bees and hummingbirds.
Pairs well with Siberian bugloss, Alertie peony, and Autumn crocus.
