Charming and cleanly variegated, Snow Cap Hosta brings bright, refreshing contrast to shady garden spaces. This small to medium-sized variety features heart-shaped leaves with pure white centers framed by dark green margins. The creamy interior often develops subtle streaking and light green tones as the season progresses, creating soft visual movement and interest.
With its tidy, clump-forming habit and striking foliage, Snow Cap is ideal for edging, front-of-border plantings, or container displays. Pale lavender flowers bloom on slender scapes in midsummer, attracting pollinators and adding a delicate vertical accent to the plant’s neat mound of leaves.
Cold-hardy and well-suited to Manitoba’s growing conditions, Snow Cap thrives in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a bright focal point in shady areas, with minimal care required.
