H. ‘Gold Vein’

Overview

Registered in 2017 by E. Smith and BHHS, Hosta 'Gold Vein' is a variegated cultivar distinguished by its leaf margins. The foliage is described as having margins, though specific dimensions are not recorded in the registry.

In the Garden

'Gold Vein' performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for most hostas. Its mature size is not documented in the registry, but it can be positioned among other shade-tolerant perennials such as ferns, heucheras, and astilbes. Given the lack of recorded leaf dimensions, gardeners should observe the plant's growth in their own conditions to determine appropriate spacing.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, 'Gold Vein' may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
