This is a great hosta for naturalizing in a dry, shady area. I typically do not keep it in my hosta beds, but love to drop it under some of my deciduous trees. It thrives under most anything, except some of my larger maples, and will fill in quickly (especially if you divide a bit every two years.)

Easy to grow, fast multiplier, tough and inexpensive. It was brought to this country in 1875 by Thomas Hogg, a New York nursery owner who spent several years in Japan during the 1860s and '70s collecting new plants. His most renowned introduction was H. 'Fukurin Fu Giboshi'. This hosta very soon became known as H. 'Thomas Hogg.' Today it is known as H. undulata var. albomarginata syn. H. 'Undulata Albomarginata' The Genus Hosta List of Registered Cultivars [1969-1991] states about its registration "Maekawa 1936/ AHS 1987." Dr. Maekawa was a Japanese botanist.

This plant is growing in my sunny garden (mid-day sun, afternoon sun - HOT sun) in zone 9a and has been thriving for 3 years. I moved it to the sunny garden because it was doing poorly in the shade.
Good varigation on the foliage. The flowers are nice, too.
Only problem is the bugs love it as much as I do. Other than watching for slugs and bugs, no special care is given this plant.
