H. ‘Paisley Art’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Lakeside Paisley Print' registered in 2012, 'Paisley Art' is a small, mound-forming cultivar distinguished by its green leaves with creamy white margins that exhibit streaking of dark green and white. The plant maintains its variegation reliably and is noted for being highly fertile, making it reproducible through tissue culture.

In the Garden

Reaching approximately 12 inches (31 cm) in height and 24 inches (61 cm) in diameter, 'Paisley Art' forms a compact, moderate-growing mound suited to partial shade in typical hosta-growing zones. Its small size and lightly cupped, wavy leaves make it appropriate for rock gardens, container culture, or the front of shaded borders, where it pairs well with other small perennials such as ferns or heucheras.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season; apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Paisley Art' is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
