H. ‘Indy Parade Lap’

Overview

Registered in 2005 as a sport of a *Hosta* 'Bravo' line seedling, 'Indy Parade Lap' is a small, fast-growing cultivar notable for its grassy, clump-forming habit and narrow, lance-shaped leaves. The foliage is medium green with creamy white, slightly to heavily rippled margins, producing a distinctly variegated, fine-textured appearance.

In the Garden

'Indy Parade Lap' reaches a mature spread of 24 inches (61.0 cm) and a height of 14 inches (35.6 cm), forming a dense, mound-like clump. It is suited to partial shade and well-drained soil, typical of hosta-growing zones. Its compact size and grassy texture make it appropriate for rock gardens, container plantings, or as edging in the front of a border, where it can be paired with fine-leaved perennials or small ferns.

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 recommended, as the narrow, variegated foliage may be attractive to both.
