H. ‘Pewter Goblet’

Overview

Registered in 2016 from unknown parentage, 'Pewter Goblet' is a large hosta distinguished by its deeply cupped, nearly round leaves with dark green margins and a pronounced corrugated texture. The leaf blade is slightly shiny on the upper surface and dull beneath, with a cordate base, and the overall form resembles a goblet, as the cultivar name suggests.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a mound-like clump reaching 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in height, with a moderate growth rate. It is suitable for partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones, where its deeply cupped leaves create a distinctive textural presence. The large size makes it appropriate as a specimen or in mixed shade borders, though it is not suited for container culture due to its dimensions.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage the foliage, so monitoring and protective measures are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
