Hosta of the Day - Jezebel

Post by redcrx »

Jezebel is a sport of Striptease. A good sized plant with bright leaves in the Spring that change colors early in the season to look like Striptease.

Hosta Registry - http://www.hostaregistrar.org/detail.ph ... ty=Jezebel
MyHostas - http://www.myhostas.be/db/hostas/Jezebel
Hosta Library - http://www.hostalibrary.org/j/jezebel.html

(Note - the MyHostas database has the "Originator" as M. McHugh, my son. He is actually the "Namer" of the plant. I was looking for a suitable name for a "Striptease" sport and I explained the naming "conventions" associated with this line and he came up with "Jezebel". )

This hosta sported in 2010 from a large Striptease that also sported Bella Noche the same year. I got them separated in 2011.

Here is Jezebel in 2011 before I took it off the Striptease.

And here it is at the end of the season where it looks like Striptease.

Here is Jezebel starting out. I have 3 pots but haven't located the third yet. I need to cut one up to send a piece that I donated to the First Look auction.

I tracked down most of it. I located more than I thought I had - it must grow like a weed and I didn't notice. I still have a photo of a black pot that I can't find - I may just have moved it into a colored pot.

It's switching to it's "Striptease" look but the new growth has the "Jezebel" colors.
