Overview
Registered in 2000 by an unknown hybridizer, *Hosta* 'Lakeside Dividing Line' is a small-size cultivar distinguished by its reversed coloration: a white leaf center bordered by dark green, slightly rippled margins. The leaves measure 7 inches (17.8 cm) long and 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide, with seven vein pairs, a slightly shiny upper surface, and a dull underside.
In the Garden
This mound-forming hosta reaches 18 inches (45.7 cm) in height and spreads to 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for the front of a border or as an edging plant. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for the genus, and its white-centered leaves brighten darker areas. Companion plants include ferns, heucheras, and small woodland perennials; its compact size also suits container cultivation.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor regularly and employ barriers or repellents as needed.
