Hosta 'Teachers Pride' - 2026

Hosta 'Teacher's Pride' is a medium-sized perennial that forms a clump of heart-shaped leaves with a striking creamy-white centre and blue margins. As the growing season progresses, the centre gradually transitions to light green, creating a dynamic and attractive foliage display. In mid to late summer, it produces upright spikes bearing lavender flowers, adding vertical interest to shaded garden spaces. This cultivar is a sport of Hosta 'Halcyon' but is noted for its slower growth habit. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is ideal for shaded or partially shaded areas, making it a versatile addition to woodland gardens, borders, or containers.

Beyond its visual appeal, Hosta 'Teacher's Pride' offers ecological benefits by providing nectar for pollinators such as hummingbirds and bees. Its dense foliage also helps suppress weeds, reducing the need for chemical interventions. With minimal maintenance requirements, it is a reliable and long-lasting choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet striking plant for shaded areas.
