Overview
Registered in 1982 by C. Lantis, this small hosta cultivar arose as a hybrid of Hosta 'Ogon Koba'. It is distinguished by its variegated leaves with ivory margins, a compact habit, and semi-stoloniferous growth pattern.
In the Garden
'Spring Ivory' forms a low mound reaching 4 inches (10.2 cm) in height and 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter. Its small size and semi-stoloniferous nature make it suitable for edging, rock gardens, or front-of-border positions in partial to full shade. It pairs well with other small woodland perennials such as Heuchera or Tiarella, and performs admirably in containers.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Typical hosta-growing zones apply; slug and deer damage may occur and should be managed as with other hostas.
