Overview
Registered in 2001, Hosta 'Jennifer Bailey' is a miniature cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its compact, mound-like habit and small, lance-shaped leaves of medium green with narrow, creamy white, slightly rippled margins, borne on green scapes.
In the Garden
'Jennifer Bailey' forms a dense mound 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall and 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or trough plantings. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and its small scale pairs well with other miniature perennials such as Heuchera or Sedum. The plant is also an excellent candidate for container cultivation.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage the foliage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
