Hosta Streakin in Ohio OS

Hosta ‘Streakin in Ohio’ is a distinctive streaked hosta introduced by Ed Thaubald, selected from a seedling discovered in Cleveland, Ohio. This cultivar is admired for its exceptionally detailed streaking and long season of foliage interest, remaining visually engaging from early spring through frost.

The leaves display green foliage accented by intricate yellow streaking, with patterning that varies leaf to leaf and throughout the season. This fine, complex streaking gives the plant constant movement and character, making it especially appealing to collectors who appreciate dynamic foliage rather than uniform color.

Plants form a compact to medium-sized clump reaching approximately 12 inches tall and 14 inches wide. Lavender flowers appear on 18-inch scapes, rising neatly above the foliage and adding seasonal interest without detracting from the plant’s primary feature—the streaked leaves.

A thoughtfully named and well-grown seedling that showcases both regional pride and standout streaked foliage.
