Overview
Registered in 1987 by the American Hosta Society, *Hosta* 'Undulata Erromena' is a medium-sized cultivar distinguished by its variegated foliage, which features medium green leaves with slight undulating margins and a subtle glossy upper surface. The leaves measure 8.25 inches (21.0 cm) in length and 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) in width, with 8 to 10 pairs of veins.
In the Garden
This cultivar performs best in partial to full shade, forming a clump of moderate spread typical of medium hostas. Its variegated leaves and moderate height make it suitable for mid-border positions in shaded borders or woodland gardens, where it pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials. It is not typically recommended for container cultivation due to its medium size.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage in garden settings.
