H. ‘She's a Dancer’

Overview

Registered in 2011, Hosta 'She's a Dancer' is a small-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. Its most distinctive visual feature is the sharp downward curve of its lance-shaped, medium blue-green leaves, which have narrow white margins and tips that point inward toward the plant's center.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches a mature spread of approximately 24 inches (61 cm) and a height of 15 inches (38 cm), with an upright, moderate growth habit. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for most hostas, and its small size makes it well-suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a shaded border. Companion plants such as ferns, heucheras, or small woodland perennials complement its compact form.

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 deterrents may be necessary, as this cultivar's low, dense foliage can attract both pests.
