H. ‘Diana Remembered’

Overview

Registered in 1997 as a sport of an unidentified parent, *Hosta* 'Diana Remembered' is a medium-sized cultivar distinguished by blue-green leaves with broad, creamy white margins. The leaf blade measures 7 inches (17.8 cm) in length and 6 inches (15.2 cm) in width, with nine pairs of veins, a cordate base, and slightly rippled, creamy white margins that extend 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) from the edge.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a dense, mound-like clump reaching 15 inches (38.1 cm) in height and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, with a fast growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and is suitable for borders, woodland gardens, or as a groundcover. The scapes rise 20 to 25 inches (50.8 to 63.5 cm) above the foliage, bearing pale lavender flowers in midsummer.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, this cultivar may be browsed by deer and is susceptible to slug damage, though the thick leaf texture offers some resistance.
