H. ‘Jipson Place City Shadows’

Overview

Registered in 2016 by K. Anderson as a sport of *Hosta* 'City Lights', 'Jipson Place City Shadows' is a large, upright hosta distinguished by its greenish-yellow leaf centers framed by medium to dark green, flat margins. The contrasting coloration and upright habit with overlapping streaks at the base create a visually prominent display.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches a mature spread of 56 inches (142.2 cm) and a height of 24 inches (61.0 cm), with scapes extending 24 to 27 inches (61.0 to 68.6 cm). Its moderate growth rate and upright form suit it for mid-border positions or as a specimen in partial to full shade. The broad, lightly cupped leaves with cordate bases pair well with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Like most hostas, it may require protection from slugs and deer in typical hosta-growing zones.
