H. ‘Ohh! Charlotte!’

Overview

Registered in 2012 from unknown parentage, 'Ohh! Charlotte!' is a large hosta distinguished by its blue-green, broadly ovate leaves with green margins, heavy corrugation, and wavy edges. The foliage reaches 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) in length and 9 inches (22.9 cm) in width, with 15 to 16 vein pairs, a dull upper surface, and a glaucous bloom beneath.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms an upright to mounding clump 26 inches (66.0 cm) tall and 42 inches (106.7 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs well in partial to full shade typical of hosta-growing zones and is noted for sun-fast foliage, making it more tolerant of brighter conditions than many blue-green cultivars. Its substantial size suits it for mid-border or as a specimen in woodland gardens; it pairs effectively with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable, though the thick, corrugated leaves offer moderate resistance.
