Hosta 'Party Streamers'

If ever a Hosta were well-named, this is it. Compact Hosta ‘Party Streamers’ sports slender foliage in a bright shade of chartreuse that is equally suggestive of Hakonechloa ‘All Gold’ and decorations for a really great celebration. Add this bold, distinctive accent to shade gardens and containers. In summer, the narrow, undulating leaves are capped by deep purple flowers. PP 33,277

This genus of shade lovers has 70 species, all of them from China and Japan, and hybridizers have produced hundreds of exciting crosses. Hostas have many handsome leaf colorations and lavender or white Lily-like flowers on graceful stalks. Plants prefer a moist location, but we've had a mass planting thrive for more than 30 years under a row of Sugar Maples. (In the South and West, evenly moist soil is required.) Because Hostas are grown primarily for their foliage, we give the height of the leaves, not the flowers.
