Overview
Registered in 2012, Hosta 'Carin's Wedding' is a miniature cultivar of unknown parentage. It forms a small, dense mound of lance-shaped leaves that are green with white margins and pronounced white streaking, a visual characteristic that distinguishes it from many other green-and-white hostas.
In the Garden
'Carin's Wedding' reaches a mature diameter of 14 inches (35.6 cm) and a height of 7 inches (17.8 cm), with a semi-upright growth habit. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas, and its fast growth rate allows it to fill small spaces quickly. This miniature is well suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a shaded border, where it can be paired with small ferns or fine-textured groundcovers. Its compact size also makes it an excellent candidate for container cultivation.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, protect young foliage from slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
