Description

The Perfect Polished Edge for Your Woodland Path

Mildred Seaver registered Hosta 'Allan P. McConnell' in 1980, naming it after seed donor Allan McConnell. This small cultivar forms tight, symmetrical mounds that define garden edges with effortless precision. Dark, matte-green lance-shaped leaves carry a thin, brilliant white margin that stays vivid all season. It multiplies quickly, making it ideal for edging walkways or creating a weed-suppressing groundcover. Its fine texture pairs beautifully with the bold, coarse foliage of larger companion hostas.

Leaf Shape and Texture: Lance-shaped with a smooth, slightly wavy surface — fine-textured foliage that contrasts elegantly with the broader, coarser leaves of giant hosta varieties and fills in quickly to suppress weeds.
Leaf Colour: Dark, matte-green with a thin, brilliant white margin that remains vivid and precise all season — crisp variegation that defines edges and walkways with effortless sophistication.
Mature Size: 30 cm high (width not yet recorded) — a compact, tight mound ideal for edging, container planting, and rock gardens where soil depth is limited.
Flowers: Elegant bell-shaped lavender-purple blooms on 40 cm (16 in) scapes in late summer, attracting pollinators to the shade garden above the refined white-edged foliage.

Feature	Specification
Size (H)	30 cm (12") — width not yet recorded
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Dark green with pure white margins; lavender-purple flowers
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade; very shade tolerant

Grower's Tip: Its small size and dense root system make 'Allan P. McConnell' an excellent choice for containers and rock gardens where soil depth is limited — a favourite in cottage gardens from Victoria, BC to the Maritimes. It handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9. At our nursery in Bécancour, QC, we wait for each division to establish its distinctive white-edged margin and robust crown before shipping — our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Allan P. McConnell', verified before it leaves Bécancour, QC.
