Registered in 2001 by the esteemed hybridizer \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Malloy\u003c\/strong\u003e of New York, this variety is the result of a unique cross between the streaked \u003cstrong\u003eHosta 'Crepe Suzette'\u003c\/strong\u003e and the legendary blue \u003cstrong\u003eHosta 'Halcyon'\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is highly prized for its bold, heart-shaped leaves that showcase a rich green centre framed by a vibrant, variable yellow margin that softens to a light creamy-yellow as the season matures in Bécancour. With its sturdy build and reliable performance, 'Anglo Saxon' acts as a perfect structural bridge between larger specimen hostas and smaller border varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique Hybrid Pedigree:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines the exceptional blue-green leaf substance of 'Halcyon' with the bright, variegated flair of its 'Crepe Suzette' lineage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Margin Transition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch as the bright yellow margins of spring gradually transition into a softer light yellow, providing season-long interest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStriking Floral Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e In midsummer, it produces delicate medium lavender flowers on sturdy 91 cm scapes, creating a tall, elegant vertical accent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliable Mounding Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forms a dense, spreading mound reaching nearly a metre in width, ideal for filling gaps in the mid-border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProven Northern Vigour:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Malloy introduction is well-noted for its excellent hardiness and adaptability across all Canadian zones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 cm Height \/ 91 cm Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanadian Zones 3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen centre with Yellow-to-Light Yellow margins; Lavender flowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial Shade to Full Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrower's Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain the sharpest contrast in its variegation, we recommend siting 'Anglo Saxon' in a location that receives dappled morning sunlight; this helps the yellow margins reach their full brilliance before the afternoon heat.
