H. ‘Ohh! Viola’

Overview

Registered in 2015, *Hosta* 'Ohh! Viola' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage, distinguished by its green leaves with bright golden yellow, moderately rippled margins. The foliage is ovate with slightly twisted tips and rounded bases, displaying a dull surface on both sides and a semi-upright growth habit.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches 13 inches (33.0 cm) in height and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, with a slow growth rate. It is suitable for typical hosta-growing zones, performing best in partial to full shade. The bright golden yellow margins provide contrast in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or as a groundcover; it pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.

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, 'Ohh! Viola' is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed.
