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. Its medium size makes it suitable for border fronts, woodland gardens, or as a specimen in shaded containers.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release formulation; monitor for slug and deer damage, which can affect the foliage.
