Info | A larger hosta, 'Brass Ring' grows to about 48 inches wide. Blooms are light lavender and are on short scapes. I grow the plant in average soil, and light shade. It is slug resistant. And here, still looks great in October! Beautiful rounded, blue/green foliage with "Brassy" yellow margins. Nice medium-sized hosta with rounded green leaves that show good corrugation and have brassy gold border that lightens to yellow as the season progresses. Good substance and holds well until the end of the season. |
