Hosta First Frost | 25 pcs

Hosta 'First Frost' is a distinguished medium-sized perennial that brings exceptional beauty to shaded garden spaces. This award-winning variety, honored as the 2010 Hosta of the Year by the American Hosta Growers Association, features stunning blue-green leaves with creamy-yellow margins that transition to white as the season progresses. A sport of the popular 'Halcyon' variety, First Frost combines elegant foliage with delicate lavender blooms for season-long interest.

A Standout Shade Performer

First Frost offers landscape professionals and garden designers numerous benefits that make it a superior choice for client projects:

• Striking color contrast with blue-green centers and bright margins that lighten from golden-yellow to creamy white throughout the growing season
• Excellent slug resistance due to its thick, substantial foliage
• Forms a neat, compact mound reaching 16-20 inches tall with a generous spread of 36-42 inches
• Exceptional heat tolerance compared to many hostas
• Pale lavender flowers on 20-inch scapes attract hummingbirds and pollinators
• Versatile application in mass plantings, borders, and as groundcover

This hosta maintains its attractive appearance from spring through fall, making it a reliable performer in challenging shade environments.

Growing and Maintenance

Plant First Frost in partial to full shade locations, though it can tolerate morning sun which may enhance the vibrancy of its margins. This adaptable perennial thrives in moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter across USDA hardiness zones 3-9. Water consistently during establishment and dry periods. Division can be performed in spring or fall every 4-5 years to maintain vigor. First Frost's flowering period extends from mid to late summer, providing extended seasonal interest after the foliage display is established.
