Overview
Registered in 2015 by M. Chastain and introduced by J. Schwarz, *Hosta* 'Forever Yours' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. Its distinctive appearance combines medium to light green leaves with creamy white, moderately rippled margins, creating a visual effect similar to a lighter-toned sibling of *H*. 'Lakeside Party Dress'.
In the Garden
'Forever Yours' forms a mound-like clump reaching 14 inches (35.6 cm) in height and 29 inches (73.7 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or shaded foundation plantings.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in garden settings.
