Hosta ‘First Frost’
Scolnik, Solberg 2002
A sport of ‘Halcyon’, ‘First Frost’
is a frosty, white-edged hosta. Blue leaves emerge with a wide margin that matches the won- derful color of the center of ‘June’, another ‘Halcyon’ sport and 2001 Hosta of the Year; the leaves turn pure white if grown in half a day of bright light. Lavender fl owers bloom in July. It has excellent color and substance, and will look unblemished in the garden until “fi rst frost.”
