Description for Phyllodium longipes
Hosta is a genus of plants commonly known as hostas, plantain lilies and occasionally by the Japanese name giboshi. Hostas are widely cultivated as shade-tolerant foliage plants.

| Hosta | Lavender | August to September | 0.75 to 1.00 feet | Easy to grow |
Planting and care
Use a root stimulator solution at the time of planting to encourage root growth, then mulch to a depth of 1" to 1-1/2". Keep the soil evenly moist for at least a couple of months or until the plant is established. Each year your hosta will reward you with additional offsets that enlarge the clump size.
