Description

A Shimmering Golden Halo for the Canadian Shade

Peter Ruh registered Hosta 'Abby' in 1990 as a sport of 'Gold Drop'. It forms a dense, tidy mound of heart-shaped foliage suited to shorter Canadian growing seasons. The leaves display a dark green centre edged by wide chartreuse-to-yellow margins that brighten through summer. It grows well across zones 3–9, making it a reliable choice from coast to coast. Use it at the front of a border or as a bright edging plant in a shaded bed.

Leaf Shape and Texture: Broadly ovate with a cordate base, forming a dense, tidy mound well-suited to the front of a shaded border or container.
Leaf Colour: Dark green centre edged by wide chartreuse-to-yellow margins that intensify through summer — a bright, eye-catching contrast.
Mature Size: 17 cm high × 42 cm wide (6.5 in × 16.5 in) — compact and tidy, ideal for small urban gardens and edging.
Flowers: Delicate lavender blooms appear on tall scapes in July and August, rising above the foliage and attracting local pollinators.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	17 cm × 42 cm (6.5" × 16.5")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Dark green with chartreuse to yellow margin
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Hosta 'Abby' handles Canadian winters reliably from Zone 3 through 9, making it a durable edging plant from Vancouver, BC to St. John's, NL. Because it is a sport, we verify stable variegation at our nursery in Bécancour, QC before any plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Abby' with confirmed golden margins, verified before it leaves Bécancour, QC.
