Hosta 'Dream Weaver' ~ Dream Weaver Hosta

Dream Weaver Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage.  The large rounded heart-shaped basal leaves are deeply veined and emerge with a small yellow center and broad blue-green margins before maturing with a white center.  Small pale lavender bell-like flowers raise up in terminals from the green rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  Type:  Perennial Height:  1.5' - 2' Spread:  3' - 4’ Spacing:  3.5’ USDA Hardiness Zone:  3 - 9 Culture:  Part Sun, Full Shade Bloom Color:  Purple Season of Interest:  Summer MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning.
