Overview
Registered in 2015, 'Timothy J. Wright' is a small hosta cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its green leaves with broad, flat gold margins and its compact, slightly rhizomatous growth habit.
In the Garden
This small hosta reaches approximately 11 inches (27.9 cm) in height and 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter, forming a moderately flat mound. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for gold-margined cultivars, and its small size makes it well suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. Companion plants might include small ferns, heucheras, or other miniature hostas that complement its low, spreading form.
Care Notes
Water regularly during dry periods, particularly in the first growing season to establish the rhizomatous root system. Fertilize in early spring as new growth emerges; like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage and may require protective measures in areas where these pests are prevalent.
