H. ‘Bri-Sun’

Overview

Registered in 2015, Hosta 'Bri-Sun' is a small-sized cultivar of unknown parentage distinguished by its bright green leaves with heavily rippled, bright yellow margins. The broadly ovate to nearly round leaves, measuring 6 inches long and 4 inches wide, are lightly corrugated with a slightly shiny upper surface and dull underside, bearing 8 to 9 vein pairs.

In the Garden

This compact hosta forms a mound-like clump reaching 15 inches in height and 30 inches in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for the genus, and its small stature makes it well-suited for rock gardens, container plantings, or the front of shaded borders. Companion plants might include ferns, heucheras, or small woodland perennials that complement its gold-margined foliage.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Bri-Sun' is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so appropriate preventative measures should be taken in areas where these pests are prevalent.
