A Show-Stopping Masterpiece of Form and Colour
Hosta 'All That Jazz' is a spectacular creation by the renowned breeder Olga Petryszyn, officially registered in 2006. This giant cultivar is the result of a sophisticated cross between 'Christmas Tree Gala' and 'Elatior', inheriting the best traits of its elite lineage. It is a plant designed for drama, featuring a massive, vase-shaped habit that commands attention in any Canadian landscape. As the plant matures, its sprawling leaves develop a luxurious, heavy substance and a slightly rippled texture, embodying the bold, rhythmic energy its name suggests.
Why It Stands Out
-
Massive Proportions: A true giant of the shade garden, this variety can reach a spread of over 1.5 metres, making it an ideal choice for filling large spaces or acting as a majestic specimen.
-
Vibrant Margins: Features huge, heart-shaped green leaves framed by exceptionally wide, creamy-yellow borders that mature to a soft, elegant cream.
-
Architectural Heritage: Drawing from its 'Elatior' parentage, it maintains a stately, upright-mounded form that provides excellent height and structure to woodland borders.
-
Impressive Substance: The thick, durable foliage offers high resistance to slugs and garden pests, ensuring the leaves remain pristine and "jazz-ready" throughout the growing season.

Grower's Tip
Due to its parentage, 'All That Jazz' thrives in deep, organic soil with consistent moisture to support its massive leaf production. At our Bécancour nursery, we closely monitor the emergence of these giant pips to ensure the specific 'Christmas Tree Gala' x 'Elatior' characteristics—specifically the margin width and leaf thickness—are perfectly represented. Following our "True to Type" verification, we only ship once the plant has fully emerged and proven its vigour in our Quebec climate. This ensures you receive a healthy, verified living plant that is ready to bring its grand performance to your garden.
