Overview
Registered in 1999, this large cultivar is a hybrid of Hosta 'Tokudama' and is distinguished by its broad, blue-green leaves with a glaucous bloom on both surfaces and slightly rippled margins. The cordate leaf blades reach 10 inches (25.4 cm) in length and 8 inches (20.3 cm) in width, with 12 to 13 vein pairs, forming a dense, mound-like clump.
In the Garden
'H Patricia's Paragon' reaches a mature diameter of 44 inches (111.8 cm) and a height of 24 inches (61.0 cm), with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, where its blue-green foliage retains its color and glaucous coating. The substantial size makes it suitable as a specimen plant or in mixed shade borders, where it pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable, as both pests may damage the foliage.
