The foliage maintains a lime-green coloration throughout the growing season, a notable trait for this cultivar.
In the Garden
This cultivar forms a substantial mound reaching 20 inches (50.8 cm) in height and 37 inches (94.0 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its large size makes it suitable as a specimen plant or for mid-border placement in woodland gardens.

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 recommended, as both pests may damage the foliage.
