In the Garden
'Hosta' 'Glory' reaches a mature size of 11 inches (27.9 cm) in height and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, with leaves measuring 5 inches (12.7 cm) long and wide. It performs best in partial to full shade, as typical for hostas, and its small size makes it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings.
