It is known for stable, high-contrast leaves with wide creamy yellow margins around deep green centres. The thick, ovate foliage resists slugs and holds its shape well through the season. It grows reliably across Canada in zones 3–9, from Ontario to the Prairies. Plant it as a bold specimen or anchor in any shaded Canadian garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBold Marginal Variegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide creamy yellow borders of approximately 2.5 cm (1\") frame the dark green centres, creating a high-contrast display all season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstantial Leaf Substance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy foliage provides excellent slug resistance and maintains a neat, dull finish on the top surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuminous Undersides:\u003c\/strong\u003e A silvery glaucous bloom on the leaf undersides adds a hidden layer of sophistication when ruffled by a breeze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong Vertical Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tall green scapes carry pale lavender flowers well above the foliage in mid-summer, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 cm × 107 cm (20\" × 42\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark green with creamy yellow margins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial to full shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e While Hosta 'Deep Space Nine' is a vigorous grower, its wide margins are most vibrant with a bit of morning sun.
