H. ‘Norwalk Chartreuse’

Overview

Registered in 1995, 'Norwalk Chartreuse' is a small hosta cultivar of unknown parentage. It is distinguished by its very shiny green leaves with greenish-yellow margins, forming a compact, mound-like habit.

In the Garden

This small hosta reaches 15 inches (38.1 cm) in diameter and 15 inches (38.1 cm) in height, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and is well-suited for rock gardens, container culture, or the front of shaded borders. Its compact size makes it an effective edging plant or groundcover when massed.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may be susceptible to slug damage and deer browsing.
