H. ‘Oh Audrey’

Overview

Registered in 2013 as a sport of *Hosta* 'Praise Him', 'Oh Audrey' is a medium-sized cultivar distinguished by its light green leaves with broad, pure white margins measuring 0.5 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) wide. The ovate leaves, which are slightly shiny above and dull beneath, exhibit a streaked white border, and the plant produces fragrant white flowers.

In the Garden

Reaching 15 inches (38.1 cm) in height and 28 inches (71.1 cm) in diameter, 'Oh Audrey' has an upright, moderate growth habit suited to partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones. Its medium size and variegated foliage make it effective as a ground cover or accent in shaded borders, where it pairs well with ferns, astilbes, or other shade-tolerant perennials. The plant is not typically recommended for container cultivation due to its mature spread.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, applying a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Oh Audrey' is susceptible to slug and deer damage, requiring protective measures in areas where these pests are prevalent.
