H. ‘Oberland Spring Air’

Overview

Registered in 2013, *Hosta* 'Oberland Spring Air' is a sport of *Hosta* 'Weihenstephan' notable for its small, mound-like habit and leaves that display creamy white margins surrounding medium green centers. The cultivar exhibits a seasonal color change and distinctive corrugation concentrated primarily in the green portion of the leaf blade.

In the Garden

'Oberland Spring Air' reaches approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in height and 16 inches (40 cm) in diameter at maturity, with a slow growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and is well-suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders. Its small size makes it an excellent companion for other miniature hostas, ferns, or woodland groundcovers, and it adapts readily to container cultivation.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, this cultivar is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so appropriate preventative measures are recommended in areas where these pests are prevalent.
