Overview
Registered in 2016 by an unknown breeder, Hosta 'Ohh! Clare' is a large cultivar distinguished by its blue-green leaves with pale yellow, slightly rippled margins and a broadly ovate, cordate base. The leaves, measuring 10 inches (25.4 cm) long and 7.75 inches (19.7 cm) wide, exhibit a dull upper surface with a glaucous bloom beneath, and the margins mature to a pale yellow, enhancing the plant's visual contrast.
In the Garden
This cultivar forms a mound-like habit, reaching 28 inches (71.1 cm) in diameter and 23 inches (58.4 cm) in height, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and its large size makes it suitable as a specimen or in mixed shade borders. Companion plants include ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials; it is not suited for containers due to its mature dimensions.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Slugs and deer may damage foliage, so monitor and manage as needed.
