H. ‘Timeless Beauty’

Overview

Registered in 2011 as a sport of *Hosta* 'Catherine', 'Timeless Beauty' is a small-sized cultivar distinguished by its blue-green leaf centers and wide, white margins. The ovate leaves measure 3.9 inches (9.9 cm) long and 2.4 inches (6.1 cm) wide, with eight vein pairs, a slightly shiny upper surface, and a dull underside. The white margin is 0.8 inches (2.0 cm) wide, contrasting sharply with the flat, dark blue-green interior. The blue scape reaches up to 13.8 inches (35.1 cm) in height.

In the Garden

With a mature diameter of 15.7 inches (39.9 cm) and height of 9.8 inches (24.9 cm), 'Timeless Beauty' forms a compact, upright clump with moderate growth. It is suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container culture, and performs best in partial to full shade, though it exhibits notable sun resistance. Companion plants include small ferns, heucheras, or other miniature hostas.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. The cultivar is noted for slug resistance, but standard deer deterrents may still be necessary in areas with high deer pressure.
