{"product_id":"hudson-bay-hosta-20-cell-plug-tray","title":"Hudson Bay Hosta - 20-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eHudson Bay is a big, bright hosta for the shade garden. Each thick leaf has a creamy white heart framed by a broad blue-green border, with streaks of apple green running between the two, so the plant lights up dim corners from spring until frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt builds into a wide mound roughly 3 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet across, and its heavy leaves stand up well to slugs. Near-white blooms rise on pale stems in early summer. Use it as a centerpiece in a woodland bed, along the back of a shady border, or in a large container on a covered patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, broadly heart-shaped leaves with a creamy white center, a wide blue-green outer margin, and irregular apple-green streaks feathering between the center and the edge. Leaves are thick and slightly cupped with a smooth, waxy surface and visible parallel veins. The plant forms a dense, broad mound about 36 to 40 inches tall and 5 to 6 feet wide. In early summer, upright pale white scapes rise to the top of the mound carrying clusters of near-white, trumpet-shaped flowers. At peak the white centers glow against the blue margins, giving the whole clump a bright, cool tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHostas want shade and steady moisture, the opposite of lavender's hot, dry bed, so give this one a spot under trees or along the north side of the house with ferns and astilbe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in rich, humus-heavy soil that stays evenly moist but drains well; water deeply during dry spells, especially the first summer. Hardy in zones 3-9. Cut spent scapes after bloom and divide crowded clumps in early spring as the shoots emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hosta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy white center with wide blue-green margins and apple-green streaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, broad mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36–40 in tall × 5 ft–6 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susceptible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 20-cell plug tray: 20 large, field-ready plugs of this variety (cells about 2¾ in. wide × 3¼ in. deep or deeper), ready to plant out or pot up.
