Overview
Registered in 1984 by R. Benedict, Hosta 'High Style' is a large, self-pollinated seedling of Hosta 'Gold Regal'. This cultivar is visually distinguished by its green leaves with light yellow-green margins, a color pattern known as a medio-variegated or "gold edge" form.
In the Garden
'Hosta' is suited to partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and reaches a mature size of 20 inches (50.8 cm) in height and 26 inches (66.0 cm) in diameter. Its large, broad leaves—10 inches (25.4 cm) long and 8 inches (20.3 cm) wide with 10 vein pairs—provide substantial foliage presence. This cultivar pairs well with other shade perennials such as ferns, Heuchera, and Astilbe.
Care Notes
