The Award-Winning Sport of Halcyon That Stops Gardeners in Their Tracks

Hosta 'First Frost' is the 2010 Hosta of the Year as chosen by the American Hosta Growers Association — a well-deserved honour for one of the most elegant marginated hostas in cultivation. Scolnik registered it in 2002 as a sport of the legendary H. 'Halcyon', capturing that cultivar's cool blue-green centre and framing it with a wide yellow margin that transitions to a soft creamy white as the season progresses. The seasonal colour shift gives this hosta two distinct looks in a single growing year. It performs reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9 and suits both containers and garden borders with equal grace.

Centre: Cool blue-green centre inherited from its celebrated parent H. 'Halcyon' — a refined, calm tone that anchors the bold margin.
Margin: Wide yellow margin in spring transitioning to a soft creamy white by midsummer — a dynamic seasonal shift that keeps the clump visually fresh all season long.
Versatility: Equally at home in containers and garden borders — a reliable, well-behaved medium mound that suits a wide range of garden styles.
Flowers: Pale lavender blooms in midsummer on tall scapes above the two-toned foliage.
Size: 36 cm (14") tall × 91 cm (36") wide — a full, symmetrical medium mound.
Hardiness: Zones 3–9 — reliably cold-hardy across Canada.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	36 cm × 91 cm (14" × 36")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Blue-green centre, yellow to creamy white margin
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: 'First Frost' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and the yellow margin is most vivid in the cool temperatures of a Canadian spring before softening to creamy white through summer. At our nursery in Bécancour, QC, we verify the signature blue-green centre and margin colouration before shipping. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Scolnik selection — the genuine 2010 Hosta of the Year.
