'First Frost' hosta is an award-winning (2010 Hosta of the Year), medium-sized perennial renowned for its thick, slug-resistant blue-green leaves with creamy-yellow margins that turn white by summer. It thrives in shade, is hardy in zones 3–9, and maintains its striking foliage color until the first frost. 
 
Key Characteristics and Care:

Flowers: Produces light lavender flowers on 28-inch scapes in mid-summer.
Light & Soil: Prefers part shade to full shade. Morning sun improves color, but harsh afternoon sun should be avoided. Thrives in moist, well-drained, organic soils.
