Overview

Registered in 2000 by Rosedale Gardens, this medium-sized hosta is a variegated sport resulting from a cross between H. 'RD-BS' and H. 'RD-13'. Its leaves are distinguished by streaked margins, with blades measuring 6 inches (15.2 cm) in length and 5 inches (12.7 cm) in width, creating a tie-dyed appearance that gives the cultivar its name.

In the Garden

This hosta reaches a mature size typical of medium cultivars, forming a clump suitable for shaded to partly shaded borders. It pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials, and can be used as a groundcover or accent in woodland gardens. Its medium stature makes it appropriate for the middle of a mixed border or as a specimen in a container.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are recommended, as hostas are susceptible to both.
