Rising above a mound of undulating golden ribbons, rich purple flower spikes create a dramatic summer display. This small but theatrical hosta defies convention, as Hosta 'Party Streamers' trades typical broad leaves for narrow, rippled foliage in contrast to the larger, heart shaped leaves of its peers.
Its quick-growing nature ensures a rapid path to maturity, while the bright yellow leaves create an animated presence that brings woodland gardens to life. Perfect for containers or border edges where its dynamic form can be fully appreciated, this versatile performer excels when paired with broad-leaved hostas and delicate ferns, its rippling foliage providing year-round textural interest and effectively masking spent bulb foliage in spring gardens.

Hostas thrive in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, ideally with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. While they can tolerate partial shade, dappled sunlight is optimal for maintaining vibrant, healthy foliage. To ensure optimal growth, water your hostas regularly, especially during dry periods. A thick layer of mulch applied in spring or autumn will help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil.
To protect your hostas from slugs and snails, consider using organic nematode treatments in early spring. Additionally, elevating your hostas in pots with gravel-topped soil can deter these pests.
To prevent the spread of diseases, clean up any fallen leaves and debris in late autumn. This simple practice can significantly reduce the risk of fungal infections and pest infestations.
