H. ‘Kite’

Overview

Registered in 2017 by E. Smith and the Big Hosta Hybridizers Society (BHHS), 'Kite' is a variegated hosta cultivar distinguished by its leaf margins. The foliage exhibits a contrasting border pattern, though specific dimensions are not recorded in the registry.

In the Garden

'Kite' performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for most hostas. Its mature size is not formally documented, but the cultivar is suitable for placement in mixed shade borders or woodland gardens. Companion plants may include ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Given the absence of recorded leaf dimensions, container suitability cannot be reliably assessed.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Kite' may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in garden settings.
