H. ‘Paisley Border’

Overview

Registered in 2012, *Hosta* 'Paisley Border' is a medium-sized sport of *Hosta* 'Lakeside Paisley Print', notable as its reversed form. It produces dark green leaves with creamy white margins that are slightly rippled, lightly cupped, and moderately wavy, forming a mound-like habit.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches approximately 15.6 inches (39.6 cm) in height and 33.1 inches (84.1 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its green-and-white variegation provides contrast in shaded borders or woodland gardens. The medium size suits it for mid-border positions or as a specimen in mixed shade plantings.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in garden settings.
