{"product_id":"hosta-halcyon","title":"Hosta Halcyon","description":"\u003cp\u003eHosta 'Halcyon' is one of the most recognized and most popular hostas in the history of the genus. This 3' wide clump of round blue leaves (pointed when young) is recognized as one of the all-time finest blue hostas. Hosta 'Halcyon' holds its color well, is a vigorous grower, has good substance, is durable, and just like your Timex watch, it takes a lickin' and...you know the rest! The clump is topped with lots of blue-lavender flowers in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOther than clearing away the dead foliage in fall, Hosta 'Halycon' should be a maintenance free perennial.

If the hail occurs late in the summer, you may be better off to just leave the foliage intact instead of force new growth when the plant is preparing to go dormant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOld flower stalks are best removed for appearance sake, although these have no impact on the growth of health of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike all hostas, Hosta 'Halycon' thrives in light, open shade.
