H. ‘Margrit Anna’

Overview

Registered in 1999, this small hosta cultivar is a hybrid of a variegated form of *Hosta* 'Christmas Tree'. 'Margrit Anna' is visually distinctive for its golden-yellow leaves edged with narrow white margins, forming a compact, mound-like habit.

In the Garden

'Margrit Anna' reaches a mature size of 16 inches (40.6 cm) in both height and diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas, and its small stature makes it well suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. Companion plants might include small ferns, heucheras, or other miniature hostas that share similar light and moisture requirements.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, 'Margrit Anna' is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so appropriate deterrents may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
