Tall flower scapes appear during the summer and display lavender blooms.This plant thrives in the shade, making it an excellent addition to a low-light area. Feature this clump-forming, mounded perennial in borders, beds, or mass plantings. The greenery looks lovely when used along a walkway, deck, or as a foundation planting. The First Frost Hosta is a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 9.First Frost Hosta CarePlant this leafy perennial in full shade. The ideal spot for this plant will receive about 4 hours of sunlight. Stick to a consistent watering schedule for the first year. After this Hosta is acclimated, it will not require frequent watering, but it will be helpful to give the plant a drink during a drought.
