Hosta clump height
Hosta Tratt.
A key morphological trait for Hosta classification, measured from the soil surface to the tips of the leaves, excluding scapes in six-year-old specimens.
In the reference 9 varieties crop Hosta, where this is mentioned in the description.
Clump height is assessed in fully mature plants at six years of age. The measurement is taken from the soil level to the leaf tips, with scape height excluded from the calculation. Height parameters are estimates and manifest under optimal agronomic growing conditions.
There is an international classification that divides cultivars into groups: dwarf up to 10 cm, miniature from 10 to 16 cm, small from 17 to 30 cm, medium from 30 to 60 cm, large from 55 to 75 cm, and giant, exceeding 75–90 cm. This indicator determines the planting layout and the plant's role in a landscape composition, helping to prevent overcrowding and interspecific competition.
