H. ‘Honey Hill Eureka’

Overview

Registered in 2003, 'Honey Hill Eureka' is a giant hosta cultivar resulting from a hybrid of two unnamed seedlings. It is visually distinctive for its nearly round, blue-green leaves with gold margins, a glaucous bloom on the undersides, and moderate corrugation.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches a mature spread of 54 inches (137.2 cm) and a height of 27 inches (68.6 cm), making it suitable as a specimen or background plant in larger borders. It tolerates more sun than typical blue-leaved hostas, though it performs best in conditions standard for the genus. Its bold foliage pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable for this large-leaved cultivar in typical hosta-growing zones.
