Hosta 'Valley's Glacier' - 2026

Hosta 'Valley's Glacier' is a medium-sized perennial that forms a dense, clump-forming mound of heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are intensely blue-green, especially in spring, with a wide yellow margin that transitions to creamy white later in the season. This cultivar is a sport of Hosta 'First Frost' but distinguished by a broader margin. In mid to late summer, it produces tall spikes bearing pale lavender flowers, adding vertical interest to shaded garden spaces.

Beyond its visual appeal, Hosta 'Valley's Glacier' offers ecological benefits by providing nectar for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its dense foliage also helps suppress weeds, reducing the need for chemical interventions. With minimal maintenance requirements, it is a reliable and long-lasting choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet striking plant for shaded areas.
