H. ‘Turner Junction’

Overview

Registered in 2003 as a sport of *Hosta* 'Spinning Wheel', 'Turner Junction' is a giant cultivar distinguished by its large, nearly round, blue-green leaves with a heavy glaucous bloom on both surfaces. The leaves are moderately cupped and corrugated, with lightly wavy margins, and the plant forms a dense, slow-growing mound.

In the Garden

'Turner Junction' reaches a mature spread of 42 inches (107 cm) and a height of 22 inches (56 cm), making it suitable for mid-border or specimen placement in partial to full shade. Its substantial blue-green foliage pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. The green scapes, 16 to 25 inches (41 to 64 cm) tall, bear lavender flowers in midsummer.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Like most large-leaved hostas, 'Turner Junction' may require protection from slugs and snails, particularly in damp conditions; deer browsing is also a potential concern in typical hosta-growing zones.
