Hosta - Pilgrim - DetailsHosta - Pilgrim - Sale Price: $42.75
Hosta Pilgrim, Hosta 'Pilgrim’, is a knockout Hosta with lovely heart shaped leaves. This fast grower has leaves that exhibit a horizontal habit for classy look! The grey-green leaves have wide margins that start out yellow with grey-blue streaks in the spring and fade to cream by summer.  Lavender flowers in mid-summer. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  Plant 'Pilgrim’ in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves. For a fantastic display in a shaded area, combine ‘Pilgrim’ with blue and solid green hostas! * Fast grower * Horizontal habit * Heart shaped leaves

It looks especially good around the edge of borders, near variegated plants, woodland edges, rock gardens, perennial borders, or in mass to form an attractive ground cover. 'Midnight Rose' looks excellent in partly shaded borders, under trees, and even mixed into ornamental containers on shady patios.   Cold and drought tolerant and withstanding heat and humidity, nothing seems to phase this plant.  But to keep 'Midnight Rose' looking its best, be sure to water in hot, dry weather, giving the plant about one inch of water per week; divide clumps in fall.
