H. ‘Green Nymph’

Overview

Registered in 1999, 'Green Nymph' is a medium-sized hosta cultivar derived from a hybrid of *Hosta montana*. It is visually distinctive for its variegated foliage, featuring medium green margins with a slightly shiny upper surface and dull underside, combined with cordate leaf bases and five vein pairs.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a slow-growing, mound-like clump reaching 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height and 16 inches (40.6 cm) in diameter. It is suitable for partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones, where its medium green leaves provide a subdued but consistent presence. 'Green Nymph' pairs well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials, and its moderate size makes it appropriate for border fronts or small woodland gardens.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Green Nymph' may be susceptible to slug and deer damage, so monitor accordingly.
