Narrow Leaves, Ruffled Edges, Pure Garden Charm
Doug and Mardy Beilstein registered Hosta 'Yippee' in 2020, bringing a spirited little cultivar to the garden world. Its narrow green leaves fold gently along the midrib and carry a crisp, ruffled white margin that catches light beautifully. It suits Canadian gardens from Zone 3 through 9 with ease. Compact and fountain-like in habit, it earns its place at the front of a shaded border or in a container.

Grower's Tip: 'Yippee' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and we've grown it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, where its ruffled white margin stays crisp and clean right through the season. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Yippee', verified before it leaves Bécancour.
