Hosta 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' - 1 Bare Root Hosta Plant

The blue grey leaves of Hosta Abiqua Drinking Gourd sparkle with small pools of water that collect in the deeply cupped foliage. In summer, this RHS AGM variety bears spikes of white bell shaped flowers that complement the foliage beautifully. With its heavily ribbed leaves, this hardy perennial shows good resistance to slugs and snails. Hostas make a fabulous addition to borders, woodland gardens and patio containers, producing the best colour in a shady position. Height: 50cm &40;20&34;&41;. Spread: 75cm &40;30&34;&41;. Culinary information: The best part to use is the hoston, the rolled up leaf as it emerges in the spring. Cooking depends on the size of the hostons, small ones can be fried for a few minutes, going well in stir fries. Thicker ones are better boiled and used as a
vegetable. For more details about edible flowers click here.
