Grown at our Chalet Farm in WI, June Hosta features dainty spikes of lavender bell-shaped flowers rising above the foliage in mid summer. Its attractive textured heart-shaped leaves remain gold in color with distinctive aqua bluish-green edges and tinges of bluish-green throughout the season. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season.

Few plants are as endlessly charming—or as forgiving—as Hen & Chicks, and the Trio Honeycrisp collection brings three coordinating selections together for instant character. Tight evergreen rosettes multiply freely, sending out little ‘chicks’ that cluster around the parent in living, sculptural mosaics. Thriving in full sun with very little water, these tough succulents are perfect for containers, rock gardens, trough plantings, or tucked between stepping stones. Their fleshy leaves are reliably deer-resistant and shrug off heat, drought, and poor soil with ease. Watch in summer for curious red blooms that rise on stems above the rosettes before the plant resets and carries on. It’s a low, ground-hugging accent that rewards almost no effort with year-round structure and texture.
