H. ‘Nancy Lindsay’

Overview

Registered in 1988 by the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society (BHHS), *Hosta* 'Nancy Lindsay' is a medium-sized sport of *Hosta* 'Fortunei'. Its leaves are green with dull, matte gold margins, a color pattern that distinguishes it from the solid green foliage of its parent.

In the Garden

'Nancy Lindsay' performs best in partial to full shade, typical for gold-margined hostas, and reaches a mature size of roughly 12 to 18 inches in height and spread. It pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials that complement its muted gold edging. This medium-sized cultivar is suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or shaded containers.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
