H. ‘Lakeside San Ho Tia’
Hosta ‘Lakeside San Ho Tia’ is a registered cultivar () .
| Year registered | 2006 |
|---|---|
| Section class | II-1 (Large) |
Overview
Registered in 2006 by Mary Chastain of Lakeside Acres, this large, fast-growing cultivar is visually distinctive for its nearly round, dull-surfaced leaves with light green margins and a cordate base. The leaf centre is not described in the registry, but the variegation pattern is consistent with the pod parent H. 'Lakeside San Kao'.
In the Garden
Mature plants form a mound 18 inches (45.7 cm) high and spread to 66 inches (167.6 cm) in diameter, making this a substantial specimen for the middle to back of a shaded border. It performs best in partial to full shade, where the light green margins remain clear. Suitable companions include ferns, Heuchera, and other large hostas such as H. 'Sum and Substance'. Its fast growth rate and large size make it less suited to containers.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage the foliage; monitor regularly and apply controls as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
