Overview
A sport of *Hosta* 'Undulata Erromena' registered in 1999, 'Mary Scholl' is a medium-sized cultivar distinguished by its blue-green leaves with gold margins. The leaf coloration is reversed from typical margin patterns, with a greenish-yellow center and a medium blue-green, slightly rippled border measuring 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) wide.
In the Garden
'MARY SCHOLL' forms a mound-like clump reaching 22 inches (55.9 cm) in height and 48 inches (121.9 cm) in diameter, with a fast growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for blue-green hostas, and is suitable for borders, woodland gardens, or as a specimen plant. Its substantial size makes it appropriate for mid-border placement alongside ferns or shade-tolerant perennials.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug damage; monitor foliage in damp conditions. Deer resistance is not documented but typical for the genus.
