H. ‘Wallstreet Classic’

Overview

Registered in 2000, 'Wallstreet Classic' is a small hosta resulting from a cross using *Hosta* 'Fascination' as the pod parent. It is visually distinctive for its blue-green leaves edged with creamy white margins, a color combination that provides strong contrast throughout the growing season.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a moderate-growing mound reaching 16 inches (40.6 cm) in height and 28 inches (71.1 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other small to medium shade perennials. Its compact size also makes it appropriate for container cultivation.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, 'Wallstreet Classic' may be susceptible to slug damage and deer browsing, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
