American Hosta Growers Association has named ‘First Frost’ its 2010 Hosta of the Year.
‘First Frost’ is a frosty white-edged sport of ‘Halcyon.’ Blue leaves emerge with a wide margin the wonderful color of the center of ‘June,’ another ‘Halcyon’ sport and 2001 Hosta of the Year, and then turn pure white if grown in half a day of bright light. Lavender flowers bloom in July. It has excellent color and substance, and will look unblemished in the garden until the first frost.
