Hosta Diamond Lake
Diamond Lake Hosta features huge blue leaves that can grow a whopping 11″ long and 9″ wide. The attractive, heart-shaped, thick and heavily corrugated blue leaves have wavy margins. It matures to a spectacular specimen. Pale lavender flowers appear above the foliage mid to late summer on arching flower scapes. Considered a premium Hosta variety, a group of the finest Hostas available today.
Hostas are excellent perennials for shade that require minimal care. They are lovely massed in woodland settings or used as specimens. With their weed smothering foliage, they make idea ground covers. Although they are tough plants that can withstand periods of drought, for best results keep well watered during dry spells.
