Features and benefits

- Striking variegated foliage with dark green centers and creamy white margins that may transition to pure white as the season progresses
- Compact growth habit, reaching 10-12 inches in height with a 14-16 inch spread, ideal for borders and mass plantings
- Elegant pale lavender to white bell-shaped flowers on 18-inch stalks that attract butterflies and hummingbirds
- Excellent shade tolerance, thriving in partial to full shade locations where many plants struggle
- Remarkable adaptability across USDA zones 3-9, suitable for diverse climate conditions
- Low-maintenance performance with good resistance to heat and slug damage
This versatile hosta serves beautifully as a border accent, ground cover in woodland settings, or featured specimen in container arrangements.
Planting and care
Plant 'Brim Cup' in spring or fall in humus-rich, well-drained soil that remains consistently moist. Space plants 14-16 inches apart to accommodate mature spread. While adaptable to various light conditions, this hosta performs best in partial to full shade, where its distinctive variegation remains vibrant. Flowering occurs in midsummer, with blooms rising above the attractive foliage clump on slender stalks. Minimal care is required beyond regular watering during dry periods and occasional division every 4-5 years to maintain vigor.
