H. ‘Patrician’

Overview

Registered in 1999, *Hosta* 'Patrician' is a small-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually defined by its light green leaves with narrow, golden yellow margins and a mound-like growth habit.

In the Garden

'Patrician' reaches approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and spreads to 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, forming a compact mound with a fast growth rate. It is suitable for partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones and pairs well with other small perennials such as ferns, heucheras, or woodland groundcovers. Its small size makes it appropriate for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a shaded border.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during dry periods, particularly in the first growing season. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur.
