H. ‘Rosedale Gee Wilikers’
Hosta ‘Rosedale Gee Wilikers’ is a registered cultivar () .
| Year registered | 2000 |
|---|---|
| Section class | IV-7 (Small) |
Overview
Registered in 2000, this small-sized hosta cultivar originated from a cross between H. 'RD-BS' (pod parent) and H. '900' (pollen parent). Its most distinctive feature is the variegated foliage, with leaves exhibiting streaked margins that create a patterned border effect against the darker leaf center.
In the Garden
Reaching a mature size of approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm) in length and 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) in width, 'Rosedale Gee Wilikers' is well-suited for shaded to partially shaded positions in the garden. Its compact dimensions make it appropriate for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a border, where it pairs effectively with other small perennials such as Heuchera or Tiarella. The small size also lends itself to container cultivation.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in warmer weather, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard precautions against slugs and deer are advisable, as with most hostas, though the small leaf size may be less attractive to these pests than larger-leaved cultivars.
