| Year registered | 2002 |
|---|---|
| Section class | III-4a (Medium) |
Overview
Registered in 2002, Hosta 'Jujen' is a sport of H. 'Squash Casserole' distinguished by its green leaves with creamy white margins and a notable seasonal color change. The ovate, cordate-based leaves emerge golden yellow with uneven, slightly rippled creamy margins that transition to green with white margins as the season progresses, creating a two-tone effect.
In the Garden
This medium-sized hosta forms a mound 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones, where its leaf coloration develops most reliably. The moderate size suits it for mid-border positions, woodland gardens, or as a specimen in shaded beds; it pairs 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 new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable, as both pests may damage the foliage.
