H. ‘Jumpin' Jack Flash’

Overview

Registered in 2012 as a seedling of open-pollinated *Hosta* 'sdlg PDN 94-53', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' is a small-sized cultivar distinguished by its ovate, slightly glossy green leaves with creamy white margins. The flat, rounded leaves and compact mound form contribute to its notable appearance in the garden.

In the Garden

This slow-growing hosta reaches approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and 16 inches (40.0 cm) in diameter, forming a dense, mound-like clump. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and is well-suited for rock gardens, small borders, or container plantings due to its compact size. The green and white variegation pairs effectively with fine-textured ferns or low-growing shade perennials such as *Heuchera*.

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.
