Description

A Rhythmic Masterpiece for the Modern Landscape

Hosta 'Abba Dabba Do' is a large, vigorous cultivar bred by Tony Avent. He registered it in 1998 as a sport of 'Sun Power'. The lance-shaped leaves have a deep green centre and a bold gold margin that widens with age. It handles more sun than most variegated hostas and grows well across Canadian zones 3–9. Plant it as a specimen anchor in borders or as ground cover in partially shaded beds.

Sun-Tolerant Versatility: Rare for a variegated cultivar, it handles significantly more sunlight than most hostas without losing its crisp colour contrast.
Dynamic Twisted Texture: The lance-shaped leaves feature a subtle twist and wavy edges, providing a tactile, layered look that draws the eye toward the centre.
Impressive Mature Scale: This vigorous grower reaches up to 177.8 cm (70") in width, making it a dominant presence and excellent ground cover.
High Pest Resistance: Its heavy leaf substance and Sun Power heritage make it naturally more resistant to slugs and snails than thinner-leaved varieties.
Lavender Summer Spikes: In midsummer, tall scapes rise above the gold-edged canopy to display elegant, pale lavender flowers.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	60–70 cm × 152–180 cm (24–28" × 60–71")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Dark green centre with gold to yellow margin
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade (sun-tolerant)

Grower's Tip: Place this cultivar where it receives morning sun for the most vibrant gold margins, with afternoon shade in hotter regions. It handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9. We grow and evaluate every plant at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, and our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Abba Dabba Do' — the gold margin confirmed before it leaves our care.
