Hosta 'Brim Cup'
Hosta 'Brim Cup'
 
A charming miniature to small hosta, Brim Cup is prized for its thick, cupped blue-green leaves edged with creamy yellow margins that mature to soft ivory. The deeply cupped foliage creates a distinctive textured appearance and forms a dense, symmetrical mound that adds year-round interest to shaded gardens. In midsummer, pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage on slender stems, attracting hummingbirds.
 
An award-winning variety and recipient of the 1997 Hosta of the Year award from the American Hosta Growers Association, Brim Cup is valued for its excellent substance, attractive variegation, and dependable performance. It thrives in rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil and is ideal for borders, woodland gardens, rock gardens, and containers.
