Overview
Registered in 1994, Hosta 'Centerfold' is a large cultivar of unknown parentage distinguished by its green leaves with broad, slightly rippled gold margins. The foliage is cordate at the base, measuring 10 inches long by 9 inches wide, with 13 pairs of veins and a slightly shiny surface on both sides.
In the Garden
'Centerfold' forms a substantial mound 24 inches tall and 46 inches in diameter, making it suitable for mid-border or specimen placement in partial to full shade. The green-and-gold variegation pairs well with dark-leaved heucheras or ferns, and its large leaves provide textural contrast alongside finer-textured perennials like Tiarella or Pulmonaria. The green scapes, 17 to 18 inches tall, bear typical hosta flowers in summer.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most large-leaved hostas, 'Centerfold' is susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
