Hosta The Country Estate Boys OS

Hosta ‘The Country Estate Boys’ is a striking, collector-grade hosta introduced by Ed Thaubald, offered here as OS (Originator’s Stock) and rated RH5 for its extreme rarity. This cultivar is a sport of ‘Ice Age Trail,’ selected for its upright habit and highly expressive streaked foliage. The name honors The Country Estate in Williamson, Georgia, tying the plant directly to its place of inspiration.

Medium-sized, corrugated leaves display dramatic streaking in yellow and white, creating bold visual contrast and one-of-a-kind patterning from plant to plant. The plant forms a balanced, upright clump with good substance and strong presence. In season, light lavender flowers rise above the foliage, providing a soft complement to the dynamic leaf coloration. Offered in very limited quantity, this selection is best suited for advanced collectors and streaked-hosta enthusiasts seeking something truly uncommon.
