H. ‘Gable's Gold’

Overview

Registered in 2011, *Hosta* 'Gable's Gold' is a small-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its green leaf blades edged in gold margins, which are described as greenish yellow and slightly rippled.

In the Garden

'Gable's Gold' reaches a mature diameter of 18 inches (45.7 cm) and a height of 10 inches (25.4 cm), with an upright growth habit and moderate growth rate. It is suitable for partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas, and its small size makes it appropriate for rock gardens, edging, or container cultivation. Companion plants such as ferns or heucheras complement its gold-margined foliage.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, 'Gable's Gold' may be susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
