Overview
Registered in 2012, 'Thy Kingdom Come' is a sport of a Mary Chastain breeding selection, producing a medium-sized hosta with distinctive variegated foliage. Its leaves feature medium green margins surrounding a lighter center, with a slightly shiny surface on both sides and a cupped, nearly round form with rounded bases.
In the Garden
This cultivar reaches approximately 18 inches (45.7 cm) in height and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter at maturity, with an upright growth habit and moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for variegated hostas, and is suitable for border plantings, woodland gardens, or as a specimen in shaded beds. Its medium size and rounded leaf shape allow pairing with finer-textured perennials such as ferns or heucheras.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may require protection from slugs and deer in garden settings.
