Overview
Registered in 2005 by an unknown breeder, Hosta 'Anna Lindh' is a small, mound-forming cultivar distinguished by its green leaves with creamy white margins that undergo a notable color shift toward near-white as the season progresses. The prominently veined, broadly ovate foliage with seven pairs of veins and a lightly cupped form creates a textured, compact appearance.
In the Garden
'Anna Lindh' reaches a mature diameter of approximately 14 inches (35 cm) and a height of 12 inches (30 cm), with a slow growth rate that suits small-scale plantings or container cultivation. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with other small shade perennials such as ferns, heucheras, or dwarf astilbes. Its compact size and mound habit make it an effective edging plant or accent in rock gardens.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during dry periods, and apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. While slug and deer resistance is not documented for this cultivar, standard protective measures are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
