H. ‘Wunv’

Overview

Registered in 2016, *Hosta* 'Wunv' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown pollen parentage, with *H.* 'August Beauty' as the pod parent. It is visually distinctive for its broadly ovate, blue-green leaves with slightly rippled margins and a glaucous bloom on the undersides, combined with straight, erect scapes that bear whorls of light purple flowers.

In the Garden

*Hosta* 'Wunv' reaches a mature diameter of approximately 37 inches (94 cm) and a height of 17.7 inches (45 cm), with an upright growth habit and moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and is well-suited for mid-border positions or as a specimen in woodland gardens. Its blue-green foliage pairs effectively with golden or chartreuse-leaved companions such as *H.* 'Sum and Substance' or ferns.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, monitor for slug and deer damage, though the glaucous leaf coating may offer some resistance.
