H. ‘Academy Devon Moor’

Overview

Registered in 2001, 'Academy Devon Moor' is a giant hosta cultivar of unknown pollen parentage, with Hosta 'Devon Mist' as its pod parent. It is visually distinctive for its very dense, mound-like clump and large, ovate leaves with medium green, flat margins, a dull upper surface, and a very shiny underside.

In the Garden

This vigorous, fast-growing cultivar reaches a mature diameter of 42 inches (106.7 cm) and a height of 22 inches (55.9 cm). It forms a dense, mound-like clump suitable for partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones. Its substantial size makes it an effective ground cover or specimen plant in larger borders, where its shiny leaf undersides add subtle textural contrast.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. While generally robust, standard slug and deer precautions are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
