H. ‘Three Coins’

Overview

Registered in 2000, *Hosta* 'Three Coins' is a sport of *Hosta* 'Green Fountain' and is distinguished by its medium green leaves with pale yellow to gold margins and heavy, rippled edges. The leaves are slightly shiny on both surfaces, measure 10 inches long by 4.5 inches wide, and feature seven pairs of veins with tapered bases.

In the Garden

This medium-sized cultivar reaches 18 inches in height and 30 inches in diameter, with an upright, moderate growth habit. It performs best in partial to full shade, as typical for hostas, and its green-and-gold variegation provides reliable foliage contrast in woodland borders, shade beds, or mass plantings. The plant's moderate size and upright form make it suitable for mid-border positions alongside ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur and should be managed through cultural or physical controls.
