H. ‘Lakeside Jazzy Jane’

Overview

Registered in 2002, *Hosta* 'Lakeside Jazzy Jane' is a large, fast-growing cultivar of unknown pollen parentage, derived from a streaked seedling of *H.* 'Lakeside Roy El'. It is visually distinctive for its nearly round, very shiny dark green leaves with a broad, pure white, flat margin and a lightly wavy, moderately flat blade.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a dense, mound-like clump reaching 18 inches (45.7 cm) in height and 44 inches (111.8 cm) in diameter. It is suitable for partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and its substantial size makes it an effective groundcover or specimen in shaded borders. The large, glossy leaves provide strong contrast when paired with fine-textured ferns or broad-leaved companions such as *Heuchera* or *Astilbe*.

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 recommended, as the broad, tender leaves are susceptible to damage.
