H. ‘Honey Hill Night Light’

Overview

Registered in 1999, *Hosta* 'Honey Hill Night Light' is a small-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its green leaf blades edged with gold margins, the margins described as greenish yellow and slightly rippled, with a dull upper surface and slightly shiny underside.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a low, mound-like clump reaching 8 inches (20.3 cm) in height and 22 inches (55.9 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It is suitable for partial to full shade, as typical for hostas, and its small stature makes it appropriate for rock gardens, front-of-border positions, or container culture. Companion plants might include small ferns, heucheras, or shade-tolerant annuals.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, particularly during dry periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitoring and protective measures are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
