H. ‘Hoopla’

Overview

Registered in 2010 by M. Zilis, 'Hoopla' is a medium-sized hosta distinguished by its golden yellow leaves with chartreuse, cream, and mottled white streaks along flat margins. The ovate leaves, measuring 8.5 inches long and 5 inches wide, feature 11 vein pairs, a dull upper surface, and a slightly shiny underside with a rounded base and light waviness.

In the Garden

'Hoopla' forms a dense, mound-like clump reaching 14 inches in height and 36 inches in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or shaded container plantings.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges; standard slug and deer deterrents may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
