Overview
Registered in 2011, Hosta 'Pat Raeder' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its dark green leaves with broad, variable cream-white margins that are streaked with light green, combined with a moderately corrugated, slightly wavy leaf surface.
In the Garden
'Pat Raeder' forms an upright clump reaching 15 inches (38.1 cm) in height and 18 inches (45.7 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and its variegated foliage provides contrast against darker-leaved companions such as ferns or Heuchera. Its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or shaded containers.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
