Overview
Registered in 2006, *Hosta* 'Restless Sea' is a medium-sized hybrid derived from *Hosta* 'Salute'. The cultivar is visually distinctive for its blue-green leaves with undulating, serrated margins, a cupped base, and a twisted tip, creating a textured, restless appearance.
In the Garden
'Restless Sea' reaches a mature diameter of 32 inches (81.3 cm) and a height of 17 inches (43.2 cm), with an upright growth habit and moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials.
