H. ‘Let's Dance’

Overview

Registered in 2012, *Hosta* 'Let's Dance' is a small-sized cultivar of unknown pollen parentage, with *H.* 'Hearts and Flowers' as the pod parent. The plant is visually distinctive for its medium green, broadly ovate leaves with pure white, heavily rippled margins that measure approximately 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) wide, creating a strong contrast against the dull-surfaced blade.

In the Garden

'Let's Dance' forms a compact, mound-like clump reaching 14 inches (35.6 cm) in height and 22 inches (55.9 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas, and its small stature makes it well-suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. The wavy leaf margins and pure white edging provide textural interest when paired with fine-textured shade perennials such as ferns or *Heuchera*.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, this cultivar may be susceptible to slug and deer damage, so appropriate deterrents should be considered in areas where these pests are prevalent.
