H. ‘Majordomo’

Overview

Registered in 2004 from unknown parentage, *Hosta* 'Majordomo' is a medium-sized cultivar distinguished by its metallic blue-green foliage with deeply corrugated, slightly rippled margins. The leaves exhibit a steel-blue glow when dry and turn dark green when wet, while the scapes produce bird-head-shaped flower buds on deep purple stems.

In the Garden

This mound-forming hosta reaches approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) in height and 44 inches (111.8 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for mid-border positions in partial to full shade. Its substantial, heavily textured leaves pair well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials that contrast with its blue-green coloration. The plant's moderate growth rate and compact habit allow it to function effectively as a groundcover or specimen in woodland gardens.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in warmer conditions, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new shoots emerge. Like most hostas, 'Majordomo' is susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
