Sweet Dreams® First Frost™

You will find that Sweet Dreams® First Frost™ is an absolute gem for your garden, especially if you enjoy plants that offer year-round visual interest without demanding constant attention. This variety is a standout because of its thick, heart-shaped leaves that feature a striking blue-green center edged in a crisp, creamy yellow. As the season progresses, that border matures into a clean white, mimicking the appearance of a delicate autumn frost. These sturdy leaves are notably slug-resistant, which is a huge relief for those of us who want our hostas to remain pristine all summer long.

To help 'First Frost' truly shine, plant it in a shaded or partially shaded spot; it is the perfect solution for those dim corners under a North-facing wall or beneath a canopy of trees. It prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. For more earthy wisdom on preparing your soil for shade-loving perennials, I always point my neighbors toward the guides at Watters Garden Center.
