Overview
Registered in 2016 as a sport of Hosta 'Francee', 'Brianna T.' is a small hosta distinguished by its medium green leaves that are heavily streaked and speckled with white, extending into the slightly rippled white leaf margins. The foliage is ovate with tapered bases, moderately twisted and lightly wavy overall, with a dull surface on both sides and 9 to 10 vein pairs per leaf.
In the Garden
'Brianna T.' reaches a mature height of 12 inches (30.5 cm) and spreads to 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, forming a fast-growing, mound-like clump. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with other small shade perennials such as ferns, heucheras, or woodland groundcovers. Its compact size makes it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable, as with most hostas.
