Description

A Jeroen Linneman Cross With Wavy Foliage, White-Backed Leaves, and Purple Petioles

Jeroen Linneman introduced Hosta 'Valley's Rodeo' as an unregistered cross of H. 'Marilyn Monroe' and H. 'Ringtail'. The medium green leaves carry a wavy margin and a distinctive soft white underside that creates a two-tone effect as the foliage moves in a breeze. Striking purple petioles add a bold colour accent at the base of each leaf, a trait inherited from its parentage and unusual in a solid green hosta. H. 'Marilyn Monroe' contributes a glossy, twisted character to the foliage. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it a dynamic and eye-catching companion in the shade border.

Soft white leaf undersides: The pale, soft white backs of each leaf create a subtle but captivating two-tone effect as the wavy foliage catches a breeze — a trait that adds movement and surprise to the shade garden.
Striking purple petioles: Bold purple colouring at the base of each leaf stem provides an unexpected accent that becomes more visible as the clump matures and the petioles lengthen — a distinctive Linneman signature on this cultivar.
Wavy, glossy foliage from Marilyn Monroe parentage: H. 'Marilyn Monroe' as a parent contributes a characteristic gloss and gently twisted, ruffled leaf quality that gives 'Valley's Rodeo' its lively, dynamic texture.
Ringtail cross influence: H. 'Ringtail' brings its own distinctive leaf character to the cross, contributing to the wavy margin and pointed tip that give each leaf a refined, animated presence.
Uncommon Dutch hybrid: Jeroen Linneman is a respected Dutch hosta hybridizer whose cultivars are rarely found in Canada — 'Valley's Rodeo' offers Canadian collectors access to a genuinely uncommon European cross.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	Medium (exact dimensions unregistered)
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Medium green with soft white underside; purple petioles
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: 'Valley's Rodeo' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 — site it where a gentle breeze can play across the wavy foliage and reveal the soft white leaf undersides for maximum effect. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and the purple petioles become increasingly prominent as the plant matures. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Jeroen Linneman cross — confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
