Overview
Registered in 2010 by R. Kuenster of the American Hosta Society, *Hosta* 'Sarah Fackey' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its broadly ovate, medium green leaves with flat, yellow margins and moderate corrugation, forming a dense mound.
In the Garden
'Sarah Fackey' reaches 16 inches (40.6 cm) in height and spreads 32 inches (81.3 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its mound-like habit suits border fronts, woodland gardens, or shaded beds. The green and gold foliage pairs well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and fertilize in early spring as growth emerges. While not especially susceptible, standard slug and deer precautions may be necessary in garden settings.
