H. ‘Princess Hannah’

Overview

Registered in 2003, *Hosta* 'Princess Hannah' is a small-sized cultivar derived from *H. 'Chinese Sunrise'* (pod parent; pollen parent unknown). It is visually distinguished by its lance-shaped, green leaves with greenish-yellow, slightly rippled margins, and notably showy flower scapes that rise well above the foliage.

In the Garden

With a mature diameter of 22 inches (55.9 cm) and height of 12 inches (30.5 cm), 'Princess Hannah' forms an upright, moderate-growing clump suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with other small hostas, ferns, or shade-tolerant groundcovers. The plant exhibits a color change over the season, adding subtle interest.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even moisture, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed.
