H. ‘Great Village’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Color Glory', 'Great Village' was registered in 2011. This large cultivar is distinguished by its green leaves with gold margins, a color pattern inherited from its parent, and its substantial mound-like habit reaching 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter.

In the Garden

'Great Village' performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and reaches a mature height of 22 inches (55.9 cm) with a spread of 36 inches (91.4 cm). Its large, broadly ovate leaves—12 inches (30.5 cm) long and 8 inches (20.3 cm) wide—are lightly cupped, twisted, and folded, with a moderately corrugated surface and slightly rippled yellow margins. The dull green leaf surface and dull underside contrast with the bright margins, making it suitable for mid-border or as a specimen in woodland gardens, paired with ferns or shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring as new growth emerges. While slug and deer resistance is not documented, standard protective measures are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
