H. ‘Cuyahoga Falls’

Overview

Registered in 2010 as a sport of *Hosta* 'Cuyahoga', 'Cuyahoga Falls' is distinguished by its solid blue-green foliage, contrasting with the variegated margins of its parent. The leaves are ovate with cordate bases, moderately corrugated, and bear a glaucous bloom on both surfaces.

In the Garden

This large hosta forms a dense, slow-growing mound reaching 20 inches (50.8 cm) in height and 48 inches (121.9 cm) in diameter. It performs best in partial to full shade, where its blue-green leaves hold color well. The substantial size makes it suitable as a specimen or in mass plantings beneath deciduous trees, paired with ferns or shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many large-leaved hostas, it may be susceptible to slug damage and deer browsing in typical hosta-growing zones.
