Overview
Registered in 1999 by an unknown breeder, 'Honey Hill Pucker Up' is a medium-sized hosta distinguished by its blue-green leaves with greenish yellow margins and a prominent glaucous bloom on both surfaces. The cordate leaves, measuring 7 inches (17.8 cm) long by 6 inches (15.2 cm) wide with 13 vein pairs, form an upright, slow-growing clump.
In the Garden
This cultivar reaches a mature diameter of 16 inches (40.6 cm) and a height of 14 inches (35.6 cm), making it suitable for the middle to front of a shaded border or woodland garden. It performs best in partial to full shade, where the blue-green leaf color and gold margins are most pronounced. Companion plants might include ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials of similar scale.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, protection from deer and slugs may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
