H. ‘Center of Attention’

Overview

Registered in 1999, 'Center of Attention' is a medium-sized hosta cultivar of hybrid parentage. Its distinctive foliage features golden yellow to creamy white leaf centers with medium to dark green margins, creating a pronounced variegated effect on very shiny leaves.

In the Garden

This mound-forming hosta reaches 15 inches (38.1 cm) in height and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, with a fast growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, where its bright leaf centers contrast well with darker green companions such as ferns or heucheras. The creamy white scapes, rising 15 to 24 inches (38.1 to 61.0 cm), produce flowers that complement the foliage.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in warmer climates. Fertilize in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in garden settings.
