Overview
Registered in 1992, Hosta 'Eventide' is a large cultivar resulting from a seedling crossed with H. 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa'. It is visually distinctive for its broad, green leaves with pure white, heavily rippled margins measuring 0.7 inches (1.8 cm) wide, and its substantial mature spread.
In the Garden
'Eventide' reaches a mature diameter of 40 inches (101.6 cm) and a height of 17 inches (43.2 cm), making it suitable as a specimen or in the middle to back of a shaded border. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, where its white-edged foliage provides contrast against darker-leaved companions such as ferns or Heuchera. Its large size and dense habit also make it effective as a groundcover in woodland gardens.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many large-leaved hostas, 'Eventide' may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
