Overview
Registered in 1991 by A. Pollock, this small hosta cultivar is a sport of *Hosta* 'Golden Tiara'. It is visually distinguished by its dark green leaves with chartreuse to gold margins, a compact growth habit, and a mature diameter of approximately 22 inches (55.9 cm) with a height of 14 inches (35.6 cm).
In the Garden
'Grand Tiara' performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and reaches a mature size of about 14 inches tall by 22 inches wide. Its small stature makes it well-suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant, and it can be grown in containers. Companion plants include shade-tolerant perennials such as ferns, heucheras, or small woodland wildflowers.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release formula; this cultivar is susceptible to slug damage and may require protection in areas with heavy deer pressure.
