H. ‘Jordan's Heart’

Overview

Registered in 2011 by S. Asch and C. Foughty, 'Jordan's Heart' is a large, upright hosta distinguished by its blue-green leaves with broad creamy white margins. The cultivar produces broadly ovate, cordate-based leaves with a glaucous bloom beneath, and its central leaves exhibit a canoe-like form while outer leaves remain horizontal.

In the Garden

This cultivar reaches 30 inches (76.2 cm) in height and spreads to 48 inches (121.9 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and its upright, stately habit makes it suitable for mid-border or as a specimen plant. The tall scapes, reaching 26 to 38 inches (66.0 to 96.5 cm), carry dark green flowers that rise above the foliage.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in warmer climates, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are recommended for this large-leaved cultivar.
