Overview
Registered in 1998, Hosta 'Apple Court' is a sport of H. 'Geisha' that produces narrow, lance-shaped leaves with a distinctive color pattern: pure white centers surrounded by medium green margins. The leaf blades reach 8 inches (20.3 cm) in length and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in width, with the white center occupying approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the width.
In the Garden
This small cultivar forms an upright clump 8 inches (20.3 cm) tall and 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, where the white leaf centers remain most stable and avoid scorching. Its compact size makes it suitable for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders, and it pairs well with fine-textured ferns or small woodland perennials such as Heuchera or Tiarella.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season; apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Apple Court' is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
