Hosta Streakin in Georgia OS

Hosta ‘Streakin in Georgia’ is a distinctive not registered streaked hosta introduced by Ed Thaubald, selected as a seedling from his nursery. This offering is OS (Originator’s Stock), meaning plants are sourced directly from the originator’s original stock and designated as OS only when verifiable.

The lance-shaped leaves are heavily streaked in shades of green, yellow, and white, creating lively, ever-changing foliage throughout the growing season. What truly sets this cultivar apart is its running growth habit. ‘Streakin in Georgia’ regularly pushes new divisions 4–6 inches away from the mother clump, with each offset quickly establishing into its own clump, allowing it to fill in an area rapidly.

Plants maintain a compact height of approximately 10 inches, while spreading efficiently as new clumps form. Violet flowers appear on 16-inch scapes, adding seasonal color above the foliage.

A fast-spreading, highly collectible streaked hosta combining verified originator stock, strong garden performance, and excellent breeding potential.
