Hosta Quiet Wyatt

Hosta ‘Quiet Wyatt’ is a streaked hosta hybridized by Jeff Moore, bred from the cross of ‘Good Golly Miss Molly’ × ‘Red Eye Café’. This cultivar is valued for its strong streaked foliage, rich coloration, and proven usefulness as a breeder.

The leaves are blue-green with expressive yellow streaking, producing lively, irregular variegation that shifts from leaf to leaf and throughout the season. As a true unstable streaked hosta, each plant displays unique patterning, making it especially appealing to collectors who appreciate variability and movement in foliage. ‘Quiet Wyatt’ has demonstrated good fertility, setting it apart as both an ornamental garden plant and a productive parent for hybridizing work.

Plants form a large, commanding clump, reaching approximately 28 inches tall and 44 inches wide, giving this cultivar strong presence in the garden while still showcasing its streaked character.
