H. ‘Snow White’

Overview

Registered in 1983 by A. Arett, this small hosta is a sport of *Hosta* 'Undulata'. Its distinguishing feature is a green leaf blade with white margins, often accompanied by undulating leaf edges, creating a crisp variegated pattern.

In the Garden

'Hosta 'Snow White' reaches a mature diameter of approximately 20 inches (51 cm), making it suitable for the front of borders or as an edging plant. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other small shade perennials. Its compact size also makes it a candidate for container cultivation.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release formulation. As with many hostas, slug and deer damage may occur; monitor and manage as needed.
