Hosta 'Party Streamers' is a fun and lively hosta that will add a touch of whimsy and bright color to your shade garden. It is known for its unique, narrow leaves and vibrant blooms. Here is a rundown of its key features and growing requirements:
Key Features:
- Unique Foliage: 'Party Streamers' boasts long, narrow, and slightly wavy leaves that are a bright, lime-yellow color. The leaves give the plant a playful, "party streamer" appearance.
- Upright Growth Habit: It grows in an upright, mounding form, reaching about 12 inches tall and spreading up to 30 inches wide.
- Striking Flowers: In mid to late summer, it produces tall flower stalks with clusters of deep purple, almost striped flowers. The contrast between the bright yellow foliage and the dark purple flowers is quite striking.
- Rapid Growth: 'Party Streamers' is a relatively fast grower, so you will not have to wait long to see it reach its mature size.
- Attracts Hummingbirds: The flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, adding to the garden's ecological value.
Growing Conditions:
- Zones: 3-9 (It is hardy in a wide range of climates)
- Sun: Partial shade to full shade. While it can tolerate some morning sun, it should be protected from the hot afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, and organically rich soil. Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting.
- Water: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist.
Care Tips:
- Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the leaves from soil splash.
- Slug Control: While 'Party Streamers' is not particularly susceptible to slugs, it's still a good idea to monitor for them and take preventative measures if necessary.
- Division: Divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding and rejuvenate the plant.
Uses in the Landscape:
- Borders: Its compact size and upright habit make it perfect for adding a pop of color and texture to borders.
- Containers: It thrives in containers, adding vertical interest to patios and decks.
- Small Gardens: Its relatively small size makes it ideal for small gardens where space is limited.
- Mixed Plantings: It can be used in mixed plantings with other shade-loving plants, such as ferns, astilbes, and heucheras, to create a diverse and colorful display.
If you are looking for a unique and eye-catching hosta that will brighten up your shade garden, Hosta 'Party Streamers' is an excellent choice. Its playful foliage, striking flowers, and relatively low-maintenance nature make it a valuable addition to any garden.
Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.
See our Container Sizes and Bare Root Perennials pages for more information.
Plant information and care is provided in the Overview section, Plant Genus Page and general information is provided in the Planting Care & Guides. Additional questions can be asked on each Plant page.
Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!
