Hosta Jade Scepter

Jade Scepter Hosta

Hosta ‘Jade Scepter’ — commonly known as Jade Scepter Hosta — is a medium-sized perennial valued for its narrow, pointed deep green leaves edged with creamy-white margins that brighten shaded plantings. The slender foliage creates a graceful, slightly arching mound with a finer texture than broader-leaved hostas. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding delicate vertical interest.

Type: Herbaceous perennial

Mature Size:
Width: 18–24 in
Height: 12–18 in

USDA Zones: 3a–8b

Form: Upright to arching mounded clump

Light: Partial shade to full shade

Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained soil with organic matter

Water: Moderate; prefers consistent moisture

Wildlife: Flowers attract hummingbirds and bees

Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for shade borders, edging, woodland gardens, and mixed hosta collections. Narrow foliage adds contrasting texture among broader hosta varieties.

Care: Maintain even soil moisture during dry periods. Divide in spring or early fall when clumps become crowded. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom. 🌿
