H. ‘Rosedale Golden Cufflinks’

Overview

Registered in 1999, 'Rosedale Golden Cufflinks' is a medium-sized hosta cultivar of unknown breeder, derived from self-pollination of the seedling 'RD-BS-1'. It is visually distinguished by its green leaves with yellow margins, a color pattern that persists through the growing season.

In the Garden

This cultivar performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and reaches a mature size of approximately 18 inches in height and 30 inches in spread. Its medium stature and bold leaf margins make it suitable for mid-border positions in woodland gardens or shaded perennial beds. It pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials that complement its gold-edged foliage.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
