Hosta Hollywood Hansel and Gretel OS

Hosta ‘Hollywood Hansel and Gretel’ is a highly collectible selection from the Hollywood Hostas line, offered here as OS (Originator’s Stock)—plants sourced directly from the originator’s original stock and designated as OS only when verifiable.

This cultivar is valued for its thick, consistent streaked foliage, a trait not always found in streaked hostas. The leaves maintain strong streaking rather than reverting or washing out, giving the plant a reliable, polished appearance throughout the season. Plants form a balanced clump reaching approximately 14 inches tall and 30 inches wide, making it substantial yet easy to place in shaded borders and collector plantings.

Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in season, adding gentle color without distracting from the foliage, which remains the primary attraction. With its dependable streaking, verified originator stock, and limited availability, this cultivar sits comfortably in the upper tier of collector hostas.
