H. ‘Brandi Nicole’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Undulata Erromena' registered in 2002, 'Brandi Nicole' is a medium-sized hosta distinguished by its green leaves with white margins and a white streak that appears in approximately 90% of leaves. The white streak originates in the petiole and continues through the leaf midrib, creating a distinctive variegation pattern.

In the Garden

'Brandi Nicole' forms a mound 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall 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 its medium size suits border fronts, woodland gardens, or shaded container plantings. The ovate leaves with slightly rippled margins and light waviness provide textural contrast when paired with ferns or shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard precautions against slugs and deer are recommended, as with most hostas.
