Overview

Registered in 2011, Hosta 'Bill Meyer' is a large, upright cultivar of unknown parentage, distinguished by its blue-green, broadly ovate leaves with slightly rippled margins and a cordate base. The foliage exhibits a slight sheen on both surfaces and is moderately flat, with 12 to 13 pairs of veins.

In the Garden

'Bill Meyer' forms a substantial clump reaching 22 inches (55.9 cm) in diameter and 13 inches (33.0 cm) in height, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as typical for blue-green hostas, and is well-suited for mid-border positions or as a specimen in woodland gardens. Its upright habit and large leaves pair effectively with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Water regularly during dry periods, especially in the first growing season, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most large-leaved hostas, 'Bill Meyer' is susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
