Hosta 'Party Streamers'

Hosta 'Party Streamers' is a lively and highly ornamental variety that brings a playful texture to the shade garden. Known for its extremely narrow, wavy, and twisted foliage, this hosta lives up to its festive name. The slender, bright green leaves grow in a fountain-like mound that appears to dance in the breeze, giving your garden a dynamic and whimsical appearance. This unique leaf form sets 'Party Streamers' apart from traditional broad-leaved hostas, making it an excellent choice for collectors or gardeners seeking unusual texture and movement in shade plantings.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Bright green, very narrow leaves with pronounced ruffling and twisting. The foliage has a fine, airy look and forms a loose, upright clump.

• Mature Size: Reaches about 10 to 12 inches tall and spreads 18 to 24 inches wide, forming a compact but animated mound.

• Flowers: Pale purple to lavender blooms appear in midsummer, held on wiry scapes that rise just above the foliage.

• Light Requirements: Prefers part to full shade. Some early morning sun is acceptable but protect from harsh afternoon exposure.

• Soil: Performs best in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

• Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9.

• Maintenance: Low-maintenance and generally pest-resistant. Its thinner leaves may benefit from slug prevention measures in wetter climates.

• Uses: Ideal for edging shady paths, container planting, or mixing into hosta collections to add textural contrast. Especially effective in small groupings or mass plantings for a soft, flowing effect.
