H. ‘Pebble Creek’

Overview

Registered in 2013, 'Pebble Creek' is a giant variegated hosta resulting from a cross between *H.* 'Lime Piecrust' (pod parent) and *H.* 'Blue Splendor' (pollen parent). Its most distinctive feature is the extreme variability of its foliage: no two leaves are identical, with each leaf exhibiting a unique combination of intense corrugation, folding, and reversed cupping, all framed by lime green flat margins.

In the Garden

Reaching 26 inches (66.0 cm) in height and 42 inches (106.7 cm) in diameter, this mound-forming cultivar commands substantial space in the landscape. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, where its heavily textured leaves provide strong contrast against smoother-leaved companions such as ferns or *Heuchera*. Its moderate growth rate and substantial size make it suitable as a specimen plant or as a structural element in a shaded border.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are recommended, as the thick, corrugated foliage may still be susceptible to damage.
