Plantain Lilly (aka Hosta 'Halcyon Blue')

• Location:

  I am originally from Northeast Asia, but have been enhanced by modern plant breeding.

• Looks:

  My leaves look just like vinyl, and are blue/green with fine line tracing.

• Height:

  I can reach 40cm high and spread to 90cm

• Environment:

  I am useful for partly shaded areas of your garden or patio and enjoy a moist but well drained soil.

• Flowers:

  I will occasionally flower. Make sure you give my blooms a sniff too.

• Grooming:

  Clear away the decayed foliage at the end of the season to reduce risk of pests and disease.

• Life Span:

  I can last for many years, just getting bigger and better.

• Feeding:

  Moisture is one of my favourite things, so keep me well watered especially if I'm in a pot.

• Fact:

  My grooved foliage makes me slightly less susceptible to slugs and snails, however you should still be on your guard.
