H. ‘Pied Piper’

Overview

Registered in 1998, 'Pied Piper' is a small hosta of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its yellowish-green leaves with creamy white, slightly rippled margins, forming a compact mound.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height and spreads to 20 inches (50.8 cm) in diameter, with a fast growth rate. It is suitable for partial to full shade and performs well in rock gardens, front-of-border positions, or containers due to its small size. Companion plants include small ferns, heucheras, or miniature sedges.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during dry periods; apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. 'Pied Piper' is moderately susceptible to slug damage and may require protection in damp conditions; deer browsing is possible in typical hosta-growing zones.
