Hosta 'Jerry's Jest'

Registered by Ed Schulz of Iowa in 2010, this small size (10 inches high by 24 inches wide) cultivar is a hybrid of H. 'Rosedale Shady Lady'. According to the registration materials, the leaves are "...various shades of green and yellow some blue a little white...". The foliage is ovate and slightly shiny on top. Tubular flowers bloom from mid-July into August on scapes up to 24 inches tall.

We don't know for sure but the name is possibly a reference to Jerry Hadrava of Iowa who was the originator of the "Rosedale" series of hostas.
