H. ‘Green Piecrust’

Overview

Registered in 1986 by F. Williams and the American Hosta Society, 'Green Piecrust' is a large, variegated hosta of unknown parentage. Its most distinctive feature is the medium green leaf with small, undulating margins that produce a ruffled, piecrust-like edge.

In the Garden

'Green Piecrust' forms a substantial clump reaching 30 inches (76.2 cm) in height and 57 inches (144.8 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for mid-border or specimen placement. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its large size and bold texture make it effective as a groundcover or accent plant in 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 large-leaved hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor regularly and use barriers or repellents as needed.
