Giant Drama for the Shade Border — Wide Cream Margins and Architectural Form
Olga Petryszyn registered Hosta 'All That Jazz' in 2006, crossing 'Christmas Tree Gala' with 'Elatior'. The result is a giant cultivar with a commanding upright vase-shaped habit. Huge heart-shaped green leaves carry exceptionally wide creamy-yellow margins that soften to cream as the season progresses. It is reliably hardy across Canadian zones 3 through 9 and thrives from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic.
-
Massive Proportions: A true giant of the shade garden, it spreads to over 150 cm (59"), making it ideal for filling large spaces or anchoring a woodland border as a specimen plant.
-
Vibrant Margins: Huge, broadly ovate green leaves are framed by exceptionally wide creamy-yellow borders that mature to a soft, elegant cream by midsummer.
-
Architectural Form: The stately upright-mounded habit draws from its 'Elatior' parentage, delivering excellent height and structure to shaded borders and naturalized areas.
-
Impressive Substance: Thick, shiny foliage with prominent veining and slight corrugation offers strong resistance to slugs and holds its appearance throughout the growing season.

Grower's Tip: Plant 'All That Jazz' in deep, organic-rich soil with consistent moisture to support its massive leaf production — this giant rewards good soil preparation with spectacular results. At our nursery in Bécancour, QC, we monitor every pip as it emerges to confirm the wide cream margins and heavy substance are fully expressed before shipping. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'All That Jazz', not a generic green-and-cream sport.
