H. ‘Stardust Memories’

Overview

Registered in 2014, 'Stardust Memories' is a medium-sized hosta cultivar of unknown pollen parentage, with *Hosta* 'Fat Cat' as its pod parent. It is visually distinctive for its broadly ovate, green leaves with broad, bright golden yellow margins and a cordate leaf base.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a dense, mound-like clump reaching 18 inches (45.7 cm) in height and 26 inches (66.0 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, where the golden yellow margins remain most vibrant. Its medium size and bold leaf coloration make it suitable for mid-border positions or as a specimen in woodland gardens, pairing well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
