H. ‘Miss Saigon’

Overview

A sport of an unidentified parent, *Hosta* 'Miss Saigon' was registered in 1999. This large cultivar is distinguished by its medium dark green leaves with creamy white margins, forming a fast-growing, mound-like habit.

In the Garden

'Miss Saigon' reaches a mature diameter of 39 inches (99.1 cm) and a height of 17 inches (43.2 cm), making it suitable for mid-border or specimen placement in partial to full shade. Its broad, cordate-based leaves pair well with ferns, astilbes, or other shade-tolerant perennials. The plant's fast growth rate allows it to fill space quickly in woodland or shaded garden settings.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Miss Saigon' is susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
