Overview
Registered in 1998 by an unknown hybridizer, 'Pacific Sunlight' is a medium-sized hosta distinguished by its blue-green leaves with broad, flat gold margins. The foliage exhibits a glaucous bloom on both surfaces, and the cordate leaf base contributes to the plant's dense, mound-like habit.
In the Garden
This cultivar reaches 18 inches (45.7 cm) in height and 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter at maturity, forming a substantial mound suitable for mid-border or specimen placement. It performs best in partial to full shade, where the gold margins remain most vibrant, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials. Its medium size makes it appropriate for both garden beds and larger containers.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Pacific Sunlight' is susceptible to slug and deer damage in typical hosta-growing zones.
