H. ‘Crazy for You’

Overview

Registered in 2009, *Hosta* 'Crazy for You' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage distinguished by its green leaves with gold margins and yellow flowers held above the foliage. The broadly ovate, moderately corrugated leaves measure 9 inches long by 7 inches wide, with 12 vein pairs and yellow, slightly rippled margins; the leaf surface is dull on both sides, and the base is cordate.

In the Garden

'Crazy for You' forms a mound 22 inches high and 48 inches in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as typical for hostas, and its medium size makes it suitable for mid-border positions or as a specimen in woodland gardens. The green and gold foliage pairs well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials; it is not notably suited for containers due to its spreading habit.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Crazy for You' is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
