Notes
'Wide Brim' hosta (Hosta 'Wide Brim') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, containers, and ground cover. 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, loamy or clay soil. Pale lavender flowers are fragrant and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It tolerates salt and spreads at least 24 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Sedge.
