H. ‘Snow Flurry’

Overview

Registered in 1973 by K. Vaughn, this small hosta cultivar is a hybrid of *Hosta* 'Snow Flakes'. It is distinguished by its narrow, lanceolate green leaves with white margins that exhibit irregular white spotting, and its compact, mounded habit reaching 5 inches (12.7 cm) in height and 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter.

In the Garden

'Snow Flurry' is suitable for partial to full shade, typical of most hostas. Its diminutive mature size—5 inches tall and 4 inches wide—makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a shaded border. It pairs well with other small shade perennials such as *Heuchera* or *Tiarella*, and is well-suited for container cultivation due to its compact proportions.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
