H. ‘Jami’

Overview

Registered in 2009, *Hosta* 'Jami' is a small-sized cultivar notable for its lanceolate leaves with green centers and gold margins that emerge viridescent (yellowish) before maturing. The leaf edges exhibit a prominent serration, a distinctive trait, and the scapes are a very red color.

In the Garden

Reaching a mature spread of 36 inches (91.4 cm) and a height of 15 inches (38.1 cm), this upright, medium-to-fast-growing hosta is suitable for partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones. Its small size and compact habit make it appropriate for rock gardens, container culture, or the front of a shaded border, where it pairs well with ferns or small woodland perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment, and apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Standard slug and deer precautions are advisable, as hostas are susceptible to both.
