HOSTA A-E

Elslager (1999) [Large]

Hosta - A Many Splendored Thing

Large dark green leaves have a very wide greenish yellow edge. Nearly round corrugated leaves are somewhat cupped with exceptional thickness to the leaves. Very good slug resistance. 24" tall clumps are topped with pale lavender flowers in midsummer.

Jerry's Comments: "I really like the size of the leaves on this variety. Very good substance which withstands heavy rains and wind. A somewhat slower grower usually makes a nice clump in 3 to 4 years. Prefers deep shade to filtered morning sun."

Walden West (1989) [Large]

Hosta - Abiqua Drinking Gourd

The most distinct cup-shaped leaves ever seen on a hosta! Thick blue leaves display beautiful puckered (bumpy) texture. Topped with white flowers in late June. An excellent grower and slug resistant!

Jerry's Comments: "I love this hosta! Good clean blue color with the deep cups which glisten with water after a soft rainfall. Similiar to Love Pat but I prefer Abiqua Drinking Gourd. Can tolerate some filtered sun. Put this variety on top of your "Must Have List" if you are brand new to hostas!"

Herrema/Ruh (2000) [Small]

Hosta - Allegan Fog

Unusual variegation displays white centers speckled with green surrounded by shiny dark green margins. Lavender flowers. Definately one of our favorites! Our Allegan Fog hosta plants look FANTASTIC in the greenhouse right now.

Jerry's Comments: "The town of Allegan (Michigan) was just down the road from where I grew up (Hudsonville). I think this is one of the best speckled/mottled hostas available. A really nice growth rate especially for a white-center hosta. Plant in deep shade to get the full effect of the misty green specks."

Savory (1982) [Dwarf]

Hosta - Baby Bunting

Outstanding dwarf mounds of bluish green leaves form a very neat & tidy clump. Bright lavender flowers with numerous seed pods. An exciting specimen to grow in containers!

Jerry's Comments: Baby Bunting is a fast growing mini hosta. Looks exceptionally well in mass plantings. Or you may create combination plantings with one of its counterparts such as Cameo or Pandoras Box. Shade to a touch of sunshine."
