Overview
Registered in 2000 by Rosedale Gardens, this small hosta cultivar results from a cross between Hosta 'RD-BS' and Hosta 'RD-4'. Its variegated leaves feature streaked margins, with blades measuring 5 inches (12.7 cm) in length and 3 inches (7.6 cm) in width, creating a compact, patterned mound.
In the Garden
Hosta 'Rosedale Pie-eyed' performs best in partial to full shade, where its variegated foliage remains stable and does not scorch. Mature plants reach a small size, suitable for the front of shaded borders, rock gardens, or woodland settings. It pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other small-scale shade perennials, and its compact habit makes it an excellent candidate for container cultivation.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain evenly moist soil, especially during dry periods; apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard hosta precautions apply: monitor for slugs and snails, and protect from deer browsing where these pests are prevalent.
