| Year registered | 2000 |
|---|---|
| Section class | III-7 (Medium) |
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.
