H. ‘Sharon's Choice’

Overview

Registered in 2014, *Hosta* 'Sharon's Choice' is a small-sized cultivar resulting from open pollination of *H.* 'Swoosh'. It is visually distinguished by its narrow, lance-shaped leaves of medium green, each heavily rippled and margined with creamy white, and further streaked with golden yellow and creamy white variegation.

In the Garden

'Sharon's Choice' forms a compact, mound-like clump reaching 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter. It exhibits moderate growth and notable sun tolerance, making it suitable for sites with more light than typical for the genus, though it performs reliably in typical hosta-growing zones. Its small stature and deeply wavy foliage make it an effective choice for the front of borders, rock gardens, or containers, where it pairs well with fine-textured ferns or small sedges.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, particularly during establishment, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. While slugs may cause minor damage, the plant's moderate growth and reblooming habit benefit from regular deadheading to encourage repeat flowering.
