Overview
Registered in 2013 as a sport of Hosta 'Olive Branch', 'Peace Offer' is a medium-sized, mound-forming cultivar distinguished by its tricolor variegation: a greenish-yellow leaf center with a medium green margin and a lighter green zone between them. The center is notably paler than that of its parent, giving the foliage a three-toned appearance.
In the Garden
'Peace Offer' reaches approximately 14 inches (35.6 cm) in height and 26 inches (66.0 cm) in diameter, forming a slow-growing, dense mound. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its medium size makes it suitable for mid-border positions or as a specimen in shaded rock gardens. Companion plants such as ferns, Heuchera, or Tiarella complement its muted green and gold tones.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Peace Offer' is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor regularly and apply controls as needed.
