Overview
Registered in 2010, Hosta 'Rippled Treasure' is a medium-sized cultivar resulting from a cross between H. 'Lily Pad' (pod parent) and H. 'Rosedale Doughboy' (pollen parent). This cultivar is visually distinguished by its blue-green, elliptic-ovate leaves with heavily rippled margins and a glaucous bloom on the undersides, combined with a dull upper surface and a fast, mound-forming growth habit.
In the Garden
'Rippled Treasure' forms a dense mound 14 inches (35.6 cm) tall and 38 inches (96.5 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for mid-border positions in partial to full shade. Its medium green, heavily rippled leaves provide textural contrast when paired with fine-leaved perennials such as ferns or Heuchera. The green scapes, reaching 27 inches (68.6 cm), support pale flowers typical of the genus.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, protect from slugs and deer in typical hosta-growing zones.
