Perennial
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.
