H. ‘Crows Landing Standout’

Overview

Registered in 2011 by an unknown hybridizer, 'Crows Landing Standout' is a small hosta notable for its bold, stable variegation: blue-green leaves with wide, creamy white margins. The leaf pattern is unusually distinct and consistent, with a 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) creamy white border surrounding a blue-green center.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a low, mound-like clump reaching 15 inches (38.1 cm) in height and 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for blue-leaved hostas, where the leaf color remains truest. Its small size makes it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings, and it pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
