H. ‘Sea Prize’

Overview

Registered in 2009 by K. Walek through the American Hosta Society, *Hosta* 'Sea Prize' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. Its distinguishing feature is the light green leaf blade, which is streaked and mottled with creamy white, yellow, and green margins, creating a variegated effect.

In the Garden

This hosta forms an upright to mound-shaped clump reaching 20 inches (50.8 cm) in height and 47 inches (119.4 cm) in diameter at maturity. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and is suitable for borders, woodland gardens, or as a specimen plant. The medium size makes it adaptable for mixed perennial beds, 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. Standard slug and deer precautions are recommended for this cultivar in typical hosta-growing zones.
