Halcyon Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its erect spear shaped blue-green foliage. The tall scapes of pale lavender to white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in part sun and moist well-drained soils.
