H. ‘Rosedale Terraced Hills’

Overview

Registered in 1999 by an unknown breeder, 'Rosedale Terraced Hills' is a medium-sized hosta distinguished by its blue-green leaves with medium green margins and a pronounced glaucous bloom on both surfaces. The cordate leaf base and upright habit contribute to its structured, terraced appearance in the garden.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches approximately 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter and 20 inches (50.8 cm) in height, with a slow growth rate that suits it for permanent positions in partial to full shade. Its upright form and medium size make it appropriate for mid-border placement or as a specimen in shade gardens, paired with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials. The glaucous foliage provides textural contrast against finer-leaved plants.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur; monitor foliage regularly and employ control measures if needed.
