Hosta First Lady Astilbe The only maintenance we perform

The only maintenance we perform is to cut the flowers stalks to the ground when flowering is finished

returning each spring

Plenty of nutrition and moisture will produce the best results

and does not like shade

The upright woody stems quickly reach 20' tall x 10' wide

Hosta First Lady Astilbe The only maintenance we performHosta 'First Lady' is our 2010 introduction from a cross of ((Hosta 'Swoosh' x Hosta longissima) x Hosta 'Red Neck Heaven') x Hosta 'Elvis Lives' we made in 1995 (Hosta 95 413). The result is a 14" tall x 3' wide clump of 9" long x 3" wide, deeply veined green leaves, edged with a wide creamy yellow border. The clumps are topped with stalks of lavender hummingbird attracting flowers in late July and early August very nice and unique!
