Hosta Faith

Faith Hosta

Hosta 'Faith' — a medium to large variegated hosta valued for its creamy yellow to pale ivory centers bordered by broad green margins. The broad leaves have good substance and form a full mound, with the center brightening through the season to create bold contrast in shaded gardens. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal interest while the foliage remains the primary ornamental feature.

Mature Size:
Width: 30–40 in
Height: 18–22 in (to ~28 in in flower)

Light: Partial shade to full shade; morning sun may intensify center color

Soil: Moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter

Features & Landscape Uses:
Its bright center variegation makes it excellent for woodland gardens, shade borders, foundation beds, and mixed hosta collections. Pairs well with blue hostas, dark green foliage plants, and ferns for contrast.

Care:
Maintain evenly moist soil and mulch annually to conserve moisture. Protect pale centers from strong afternoon sun to prevent scorch. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom and clean old foliage in early spring. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed.
