Overview
Registered in 1982 by K. Vaughn, this medium-sized hosta cultivar results from a cross between *H.* 'William Lachman' and *H.* 'Golden Waffles'. It is distinguished by its green leaves with white margins and yellow-white, slightly ruffled leaf edges.
In the Garden
'Sunshine Glory' forms an upright clump reaching 24 inches (61.0 cm) in height and 18 inches (45.7 cm) in diameter. Its medium size suits it for mid-border positions or as a specimen in partial shade to dappled light. Companion plants might include ferns or other shade-tolerant perennials that contrast with its variegated foliage.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs may damage the foliage, and deer may browse the plants in typical hosta-growing zones.
