Overview

Registered in 1986 by M. Seaver, 'Sea Bunny' is a medium-sized variegated hosta of unknown parentage. It is distinguished by its green leaf margins and compact, rounded form, reaching 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height and 16 inches (40.6 cm) in diameter.

In the Garden

'Sea Bunny' performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts, rock gardens, or as a groundcover in shaded beds. With leaves measuring 10 inches (25.4 cm) long and 6 inches (15.2 cm) wide, it pairs well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials. Its compact habit also suits container cultivation in shaded patio settings.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Sea Bunny' is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage accordingly in typical hosta-growing zones.
