Overview
Registered in 2011, *Hosta* 'Crows Landing Fairy Ghost' is a large-sized cultivar of unknown parentage distinguished by its broad, flat leaves with green centers and greenish-white margins. The leaf surface is dull, and the plant is notable for its predominantly white coloration that persists throughout the growing season.
In the Garden
This cultivar forms a mound-like clump reaching 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter and 14.5 inches (36.8 cm) in height, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its large, broadly ovate leaves with cordate bases make it suitable as a specimen or accent in shaded borders. Companion plants include ferns, *Heuchera*, and other shade-tolerant perennials that contrast with its pale foliage.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable, as both pests may damage the foliage.
