Hosta – First Frost
A striking sport of ‘Halcyon’, Hosta ‘First Frost’ features heart-shaped blue‑green leaves edged in a bright gold margin that gradually turns creamy white as the season progresses. Blooming in midsummer, it produces tall 28‑inch (70 cm) scapes of pale lavender tubular flowers that draw hummingbirds and butterflies. A tidy, low mound reaching about 16–18 inches tall and spreading 30–36 inches wide, this hosta remains visually striking in shady borders, containers, or mass plantings. Hardy in Zones 3–9, it thrives in fertile, moist, well-drained soil and prefers part shade to full shade—especially morning or filtered sun to preserve foliage colour.
