Overview

Registered in 1975 by A. Arett, this small sport produces green leaves with chartreuse creamy white margins. The foliage is narrow and lance-shaped, reaching 6 inches (15.2 cm) in length and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in width, with three vein pairs.

In the Garden

Mature plants form a compact mound 6 inches (15.2 cm) in diameter and 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, with scapes rising to 12 inches (30.5 cm). Suitable for partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones, this small cultivar works well in rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders. Its diminutive size makes it an excellent candidate for container culture.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during active growth; apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new shoots emerge. Slugs may damage foliage in damp conditions, and deer will browse the leaves if accessible.
