Hosta 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd'

Common Name: Hosta

  • Dark blue-green, seersuckered leaves with heavy substance display a unique cupped form up to 3" deep
  • Demonstrates good slug resistance
  • White flowers appear just above the foliage on 22" scapes in early summer

Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today's gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
