H. ‘Moon Lily’

Overview

Registered in 1993 by G. Harshbarger and J. Trott, 'Moon Lily' is a medium-sized hosta cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its blue-green leaves with yellow-gold margins and a glaucous bloom on the undersides, combined with dark yellow-gold scapes.

In the Garden

'Moon Lily' forms a clump approximately 40 inches (101.6 cm) in diameter and 14 inches (35.6 cm) in height, with leaves 6 inches (15.2 cm) long and 5.5 inches (14.0 cm) wide. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts or shaded beds.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are recommended for optimal foliage condition.
