| Year registered | 2005 |
|---|---|
| Section class | III-6a (Medium) |
Overview
Registered in 2005, 'Timothy C. Morgan' is a medium-sized sport of an unnamed streaked seedling, distinguished by its creamy white leaf centers framed by medium blue-green margins. The broadly ovate leaves, measuring 8 inches long and 5.5 inches wide, exhibit a glaucous bloom on both surfaces and are lightly wavy with a lightly corrugated texture.
In the Garden
This cultivar forms a dense, mound-like clump reaching 32 inches in diameter and 13 inches in height, with a fast growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, where the blue-green margins remain most intense. Its compact size and vigorous habit make it suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or as a groundcover beneath deciduous trees, pairing well with ferns, astilbes, or other shade-tolerant perennials.
Care Notes
Plant in consistently moist, well-drained soil and water during dry periods to maintain leaf quality. Fertilize in early spring as new growth emerges; typical hosta-growing zones apply. While slugs may damage the tender white centers, the rugose leaf texture offers some resistance, and deer may browse the foliage.
