H. ‘Hydon Sunset’

Overview

Registered in 1988 by the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society (BHHS), this miniature cultivar is distinguished by its green leaves with golden yellow margins. The leaf margins are described as golden yellow, though no specific dimensions are recorded in the registry.

In the Garden

As a miniature hosta, 'Hydon Sunset' reaches a mature size of only a few inches in height and spread, making it suitable for trough gardens, rockeries, or the front of a shaded border. It performs best in partial to full shade with consistent moisture, and pairs well with other small perennials such as miniature ferns or creeping sedges. Its compact habit also makes it an excellent candidate for container cultivation.

Care Notes

Provide regular water during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug and deer damage, though its small size makes protective measures easier to implement.
