The pinkish, lavender flowers bloom from July to August, however, HostaÆs are not known only for their flowers. With a plant height of 24ö and a spread of 36-48ö, HostaÆs provide bright color in shade with wonderful foliage. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses. A great choice for any beginner gardener."
