Striptease Hosta

Hosta "Striptease"

Add drama and distinction to your shaded garden spaces with Hosta "Striptease," a striking perennial celebrated for its bold foliage and sophisticated color contrast. Each broad, heart-shaped leaf features a vivid chartreuse center bordered by deep green margins, with a delicate white line separating the two—like a ribbon of light dancing between shadows. Forming a dense, elegant mound, "Striptease" brings texture and structure to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and container arrangements. Lavender flower spikes rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding a soft vertical element and attracting pollinators.

Care tips:

• Light: Partial to full shade; protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch
• Water: Moderate; keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells
• Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with ample organic matter
• Maintenance: Low; remove spent flower stalks and damaged leaves to keep clumps tidy and vigorous
