H. ‘Jazzy’

Overview

A sport of a seedling of *Hosta* 'Fascination', 'Jazzy' was registered in 2000. This small cultivar is visually defined by its light green leaves with a broad, creamy white margin that is slightly rippled, creating a clear, contrasting variegation.

In the Garden

'Jazzy' forms a compact mound reaching 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and 20 inches (50.8 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its small size makes it well-suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. It pairs effectively with other small shade perennials such as *Heuchera* or ferns.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs may damage the foliage, and deer will browse the leaves if accessible.
