A Full Circle of Elegance in the Shade Garden
Doug and Mardy Beilstein registered Hosta 'Victory Lap' in 2021 from a cross with 'Blue Mammoth'. A wide white margin 3.8 cm (1.5") across makes a full circuit around every nearly round leaf. The leaves are moderately corrugated with a slight convex cup and 17–18 vein pairs. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9. Use it as a bold focal point in shaded borders where its circular form creates strong architectural contrast.
-
Exquisite Puckering: The strong leaf veins are moderately corrugated, creating beautiful streams of colour that flow from the white edges back toward the cool blue-green centre.
-
Perfectly Rounded Form: The nearly round, cordate-based leaf shape provides a unique architectural contrast to hostas with more pointed or elongated foliage.
-
High-Contrast Variegation: The wide white margin 3.8 cm (1.5") across stays crisp and bright against the deep blue-green interior, visible from across the garden.
-
Beilstein Pedigree: Bred from a cross with 'Blue Mammoth', this large hosta inherits exceptional vigour and substance that holds through the Canadian summer.

Grower's Tip: The 360-degree white margin and corrugated blue-green centre are best assessed once the plant has fully emerged — give it time to wake up before judging its form. At our Bécancour, QC trial fields, we verify the complete white margin circuit and corrugation before every plant ships True to Type.
