H. ‘Lakeside Sir Logan’

Overview

Registered in 2002 by an unknown hybridizer, 'Lakeside Sir Logan' is a large, fast-growing hosta notable for its nearly round, heavily textured leaves that cup downward. The variegated foliage features dark green, slightly rippled margins with a slightly shiny upper surface and dull underside, supported by 8 to 9 vein pairs.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a dense, mound-like clump reaching 14 inches (35.6 cm) in height and 40 inches (101.6 cm) in diameter, with scapes rising 22 to 26 inches (55.9 to 66.0 cm). It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and its substantial leaf substance provides good resistance to minor foliar damage. The large, cupped leaves make it a suitable specimen for mid-border positions or as a bold accent in shaded beds, pairing well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during dry periods, particularly in the first growing season, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. While the heavy leaf substance offers some protection, standard slug and deer management practices are recommended in areas where these pests are prevalent.
