H. ‘Brady’

Overview

Registered in 2016, *Hosta* 'Brady' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage, distinguished by its dark green leaves with narrow creamy white margins that are occasionally streaked with light green. The plant forms a mound-like habit and produces dark purple scapes and flowers in late summer.

In the Garden

'Hosta' reaches a mature size of 17 inches (43.2 cm) in height and 30 inches (76.2 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and pairs well with other shade-loving perennials such as ferns, heucheras, and astilbes. Its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or as a specimen in shaded beds.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
