Overview
Registered in 2004, Hosta 'Lottie Daa' is a small, fast-growing cultivar resulting from a cross between H. 'Subcrocea' (pod parent) and H. 'Invincible' (pollen parent). It is visually distinguished by its green leaves with greenish-yellow margins, broadly ovate with cordate bases, and its yellow scapes bearing flared, fragrant flowers.
In the Garden
'Lottie Daa' forms a compact, mound-like clump reaching 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and 26 inches (66.0 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container culture. It performs best in partial to dappled shade, typical of most hostas, and pairs well with small ferns, heucheras, or spring bulbs. Its fast growth rate allows it to fill in quickly in suitable conditions.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. While 'Lottie Daa' has good leaf substance, standard slug and deer precautions are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
