Overview
Registered in 2015, *Hosta* 'Reflected Glory' is a giant, mound-forming cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its broad, green leaves with wide, light green, slightly rippled margins, a moderately corrugated surface, and a low, spreading profile relative to its height.
In the Garden
'Reflected Glory' reaches a mature diameter of 55 inches (139.7 cm) and a height of 21 inches (53.3 cm), forming a broad, low mound with a moderate growth rate. It is best suited to partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and its substantial size makes it an effective groundcover or specimen plant in larger borders. Its spreading habit pairs well with ferns, astilbes, or other shade-tolerant perennials that contrast in texture or color.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most large-leaved hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage accordingly.
