Hosta 'Camouflage' | Dark Green Golden Edge Medium-Large Hosta Beth Chatto Fortunei Sport

Description

Beth Chatto's Fortunei Sport With a Dark Green Centre and Warm Golden Margin

Beth Chatto, the celebrated British plantswoman, selected Hosta 'Camouflage' as an unregistered sport of H. 'Fortunei Hyacinthina'. The dark green centre is framed by a warm light golden to greenish-yellow margin that gives the foliage a softly luminous, naturalistic quality rarely achieved by more dramatically variegated hostas. It forms a medium-large mound with the reliable vigour characteristic of Fortunei heritage. Lavender flowers typical of Fortunei sports rise above the mound in summer. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will appreciate its refined, understated presence in the shade border.

  • Dark green centre with warm golden margin: The contrast between the rich dark green leaf centre and the light golden to greenish-yellow edge is subtle yet distinctive — a sophisticated alternative to high-contrast white or bright yellow margins.
  • Beth Chatto provenance: Selected by one of Britain's most celebrated and influential plantswomen, 'Camouflage' carries the authority of a discerning eye — Beth Chatto's garden legacy is one of the most respected in the horticultural world.
  • Fortunei Hyacinthina sport heritage: Inheriting the reliable vigour and adaptability of H. 'Fortunei Hyacinthina', 'Camouflage' forms a dense, well-behaved medium-large mound that holds its presence throughout the Canadian growing season.
  • Naturalistic woodland aesthetic: The tonal interplay of dark green and golden margin creates a shifting, naturalistic effect under dappled light — ideal for woodland gardens where a blended, organic palette is preferred over bold contrast.
  • Summer lavender blooms: Lavender flowers typical of the Fortunei line rise above the mound in summer, adding a soft vertical accent that complements the warm golden leaf margins.

Grower's Tip: 'Camouflage' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 — pair it with solid blue-green hostas like H. 'Halcyon' or dark green ferns to let the golden margin read at its warmest and most refined. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and monitor the characteristic dark-centre-to-golden-margin definition before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Beth Chatto sport selection — confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
