'Ghost Spirit'. It is not formally registered but was first offered at auction to mark the Fifth Anniversary of First Look. Leaves emerge white in spring and quickly begin to speckle, eventually maturing to blue with white specks — a colour journey unlike any other small hosta. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9. Plant it where close observation is possible, as the seasonal transformation is the real show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemarkable Colour Journey:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaves emerge white, speckle up as they age, and finally settle into blue with white misting — three distinct looks in a single season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGhost Spirit Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sport of H.

We have grown it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and find it a reliable and conversation-starting addition to any shade planting. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Vermont Frost', with its characteristic speckled blue foliage verified before it leaves Bécancour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosta Choice Gardens | Canada","offers":[{"title":"Trade 1 gallon","offer_id":46792505196796,"sku":"VF-13-1G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4.7\" pot (1st year plants)","offer_id":48597223768316,"sku":"VF-13-4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8249\/6764\/files\/hosta-vermont-frost-jpg.jpg?v=1772900449","url":"https:\/\/www.hostachoicegardens.ca\/en-ca\/products\/hosta-vermont-frost-andersen-ghost-spirit-sport","provider":"Hosta Choice Gardens ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
