Overview
Registered in 2010, *Hosta* 'My Laura' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its greenish-yellow leaf centers framed by wide, medium green, slightly rippled margins, combined with a broadly ovate, lightly cupped and corrugated leaf form.
In the Garden
'My Laura' reaches a mature spread of 36 inches (91.4 cm) and a height of 25 inches (63.5 cm), with an upright growth habit and moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and is suitable for borders, woodland gardens, or as a specimen in shaded beds. Its medium size allows pairing with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials, though it is not recommended for containers due to its mature dimensions.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, 'My Laura' is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
