First Frost Hosta
Hosta ‘First Frost’
1 quart pot
 
A refined and highly regarded hosta, First Frost is prized for its blue-green leaves edged with creamy yellow margins that gradually soften to white as the season progresses. The foliage has a thick, slightly frosted appearance, giving the plant a cool, luminous quality in the shade garden. Its tidy, mounding habit makes it a versatile choice for borders, containers, and mass plantings.
 
This variety is known for its durability and good slug resistance compared to many hostas. It performs best in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and benefits from protection from strong afternoon sun. A dependable and low-maintenance choice for adding color and texture to shaded areas.
