H. ‘Final Victory’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Victory' registered in 2012, 'Final Victory' is a large cultivar distinguished by its thick, broadly ovate leaves with medium green centers and pale gold margins—a margin notably broader than that of its parent. The leaf surface is slightly shiny above and below, with flat margins, a cordate base, and light waviness.

In the Garden

'Final Victory' reaches a mature spread of approximately 38.5 inches (98 cm) and a height of 20.5 inches (52 cm), with an upright, moderately fast growth habit. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and its substantial leaf substance provides good resistance to summer heat. The bold foliage pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and shade-tolerant grasses; its large size makes it suitable as a specimen or in mass plantings in woodland borders.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. While the thick leaves offer some resistance, standard slug and deer precautions are recommended in areas where these pests are prevalent.
