The Michigander Hosta is a large, fast-growing cultivar known for its high-contrast foliage and striking, deeply impressed veins. It typically matures to approximately 26 inches in height and 48 inches in width.
Foliage and Appearance
- Leaf Margins: Emerge as a bright gold in early spring, eventually fading to a softer yellow as the season progresses.
- Leaf Center: Maintains a rich green color that provides high contrast against the lighter edges.
- Texture: The leaves are broadly ovate and exhibit a slightly twisted and corrugated texture with prominent veins.
- Flowers: Produces near-white flowers in mid-June through July on scapes that can reach up to 34 inches tall.
Growing Requirements
- Light: Prefers partial sun to full shade; filtered sunlight is ideal for maintaining the vibrant gold margins.
- Soil: Thrives in rich, moist, and highly organic soil. While it prefers consistent moisture, it can tolerate dry shade once established.
- Maintenance: It is a fast-growing variety that requires minimal care, though it is not deer-resistant.
