H. ‘Grecian Green’

Overview

Registered in 1990 by R. Stephens, this medium-sized hosta is a hybrid of *H.* 'Sunshine Sister'. It is visually distinctive for its green leaves with chartreuse gold margins, a color pattern that persists through the growing season.

In the Garden

'Homeric Green' forms a substantial mound reaching 24 inches (61 cm) in height and 48 inches (122 cm) in diameter, making it suitable as a mid-border or groundcover specimen. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its large size precludes container cultivation for most gardeners.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, particularly during dry spells. Fertilize in early spring as new growth emerges. This cultivar shows typical hosta resistance to deer and slugs, though monitoring is advisable in high-pressure areas.
