Hosta Allegan Fog

Allegan Fog Hosta

Hosta 'Allegan Fog' — a medium-sized variegated hosta prized for its creamy white centers irregularly misted and streaked with green, bordered by darker green margins. Each leaf shows unique marbling, giving the plant a foggy, watercolor-like appearance through the growing season. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the unusual foliage remains the main ornamental feature.

Features & Landscape Uses:
Its misted foliage makes it a standout specimen for woodland gardens, shade borders, collector plantings, and containers. Pairs especially well with solid blue or dark green hostas for contrast.

Care:
Protect pale leaf centers from strong afternoon sun to prevent scorch. Maintain consistent moisture and mulch annually to keep roots cool. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom and clean old foliage in early spring. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed. 🌿
