#1 Hosta Shadowland Diamond Lake

Latin Name: Hosta 'Diamond Lake' Height: 16 - 18 inches Spread: 45 - 48 inches Sunlight: Part Sun; Part Shade; Full Shade Bloom Time: June Hardiness Zone: 3-9 Description: Diamond Lake was the Hosta of the Year for 2022 due to its heart shaped, thick, heavily corrugated blue leaves that have wavy margins. Pale lavender bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage in June. This low maintenance perennial can be deadheaded if one chooses and should have the spent foliage removed after dormancy has occurred in late fall. The leaves and the flowers can be utilized in a variety of floral arrangements. Hostas make excellent choices for shady areas and woodland gardens, helping to cover the ground and create texture and impact. Attracts: Bees; Hummingbirds Other Names: Plantain Lily
