Overview
Registered in 2009 by K. Walek (AHS), Hosta 'Bubbles' is a small, mound-forming cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinguished by its blue-green leaves with creamy yellow, slightly rippled margins and a glaucous bloom on the upper surface; the leaf surface becomes increasingly corrugated with age.
In the Garden
This small hosta reaches approximately 17 inches (43.2 cm) in height and spreads to 45 inches (114.3 cm) in diameter, forming a dense mound. It performs best in partial to full shade and is suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or as edging. Its compact size also makes it a candidate for container cultivation. Companion plants may include ferns, heucheras, or other small shade perennials.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may cause damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
