Hosta 'Adrian's Glory'

Hosta 'Adrian's Glory'

Hosta ‘Adrian’s Glory’ — commonly known as Adrian’s Glory Hosta — is a medium-sized perennial prized for its broad leaves with creamy yellow to chartreuse centers surrounded by rich green margins. The center color brightens through spring and summer, creating strong contrast in shaded gardens, while the slightly puckered foliage forms a dense mound. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer on upright scapes.

Type: Herbaceous perennial

Mature Size:
Width: 2–3 ft
Height: 1–1.5 ft

USDA Zones: 3a–8b

Form: Dense, rounded clump

Light: Partial shade to full shade; tolerates morning sun for stronger center color

Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained soil with organic matter

Water: Moderate; prefers consistent moisture

Wildlife: Flowers attract hummingbirds and bees

Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for shade borders, woodland gardens, edging, and hosta collections. Bright center variegation provides strong contrast among blue and solid green foliage plants.

Care: Maintain even soil moisture during dry periods to preserve foliage quality. Divide in spring or early fall when clumps become crowded. Remove spent flower stalks after flowering. 🌿✨
