H. ‘Limelighter's Glow’

Overview

Registered in 2000 by A. Malloy, *Hosta* 'Limelighter's Glow' is a large, mound-forming cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its variegated foliage, featuring light green leaf margins that contrast with a darker center, and for its substantial leaf size.

In the Garden

'Limelighter's Glow' forms a mound 24 inches (61.0 cm) tall and 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It is best suited to partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas, and performs well in borders or as a specimen plant in woodland gardens. Its large leaves and green scapes make it a strong companion for ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges; slug and deer damage may occur and should be managed as needed.
