The Story

Plant Bio

Hosta 'Jetstream' is a medium-sized, herbaceous perennial forming a dense mound of thick, wavy, heart-shaped, blue-green leaves. In mid-summer, it produces scapes of pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers.

This cultivar is prized for its excellent substance, with thick, slug-resistant leaves that hold their blue color well into the season. Its wavy margins and vigorous, mounding habit make it an outstanding specimen or groundcover for the shade garden.

Uses & Benefits:

Provides lush, variegated foliage that brightens shaded areas all year round.

Helps suppress weeds in shaded garden beds with minimal effort.

Supports local pollinators and beneficial insects with its nectar and foliage.
