I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Hosta 'Halcyon' (Ships in Spring)

Plantain Lily

Hosta 'Halcyon' is a compact, shade-loving perennial with thick, spear-shaped, blue-green leaves that retain their intense color well into late summer. This slow-growing variety forms a dense mound, providing excellent slug resistance and crowding out weeds. In mid to late summer, bell-shaped, pale lilac flowers rise on mauve-gray scapes, attracting pollinators. Thriving in part shade to full shade, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and is ideal for borders, woodland gardens, and underplanting shrubs.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hosta 'Halcyon' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant in early spring or fall. Soak roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, form a small mound in the center, and drape roots over it. Set the crown just below soil level and backfill firmly. Space 18 to 30 inches apart depending on variety.
Location: Partial to full shade is ideal. Some varieties tolerate morning sun, but avoid hot afternoon exposure.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once established, hostas are moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering in dry spells.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas that encourage soft, slug-prone growth.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing leaves. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3–5 years in spring or fall to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Watch for slugs, snails, and foliar nematodes. Use barriers or organic deterrents and maintain good air circulation.
