Overview
Registered in 2000, 'Rosedale Jack of Hearts' is a medium-sized hosta cultivar of unknown breeder, derived from the pod parent Hosta 'RD-BS'.

In the Garden
This cultivar performs best in partial to full shade, typical for variegated hostas, and reaches a mature size consistent with its medium classification—forming clumps suitable for mid-border positions or as a specimen in shaded beds. It pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials that complement its streaked leaf margins. Its medium stature makes it adaptable for both garden beds and larger containers.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with many hostas, slug and deer damage may occur; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
