H. ‘Savannah Supreme’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Savannah', registered in 2003, 'Savannah Supreme' is a large, fast-growing cultivar distinguished by its heavily streaked foliage—a combination of green and creamy white variegation with a narrow, creamy white margin. The leaves are ovate with cordate bases, moderately wavy, and slightly shiny on the upper surface, while the scapes produce fragrant flowers.

In the Garden

'Savannah Supreme' forms a mound-like clump reaching 24 inches (61 cm) in height and 50 inches (127 cm) in diameter, making it suitable as a specimen or in mixed borders. It thrives in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its large size and fast growth rate allow it to fill space quickly, though it is not suited for small containers.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. The leaves are susceptible to slug damage, and deer may browse the foliage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
