Halcyon Hosta

Hosta 'Halcyon'

Halcyon Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous  perennial primarily grown for its erect spear shaped blue-green foliage.  The tall scapes of pale lavender to white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting  butterflies and  pollinators.  Best bloom in  part sun and moist well-drained soils.
