A few that are on order:

Hacksaw
Dancing Queen
Heatwave
Komodo Dragon
Silver Threads and Golden Needles
those are just a few.....

Welcome by the way. I see you registered yesterday.

Teresa

I'd go for these 5, for their genes:

'Split Decision'
'Urajiro Hachijo'
aequinoctiiantha
hypoleuca 'Urajiro'
'Maekawa'

and about 200 others

Greetings from The Hosta Mill, Belgium

These are my 5...

Warwick Comet
Paradigm
Fragrant Bouquet
Gunther's Prize
St Paul

I can't wait for spring!!! :)

Hoosier Dome (Ordered the last 2 years. My "suppliers supply" was not good enough to send)
Emerald Ruff Cut
Orange Marmalade
Rainforest Sunrise
Atlantis (If I can find a supplier that ships to Canada)
Maya Swingtime (to compensate myself if I can't get one of the others)

This is not an easy question to answer as I already have 21 plants on order and not necessarily the top 5. However here is my list - #1 may not happen this year due to $$:

Lakeside Dimpled Darling
Jack of Diamonds
Dragon Tails (D)
Dancing Queen (gold ruffle)
On Stage (reverse Montana Aureomarginata)

My list from last year has many unfulfilled and now I'm adding more. It's so hard to narrow it down, but here are 5 I will be looking for this year:

Dust Devil
Silver Eagle
Frosted Dimples
Rainforest Sunrise
and any of a number of Blue ones, can't decide on one yet.

Janet

Janet,
I love the blues too. Frosted Dimples was #6 on my list. I have already ordered these blues:

Blue Dimples
Blue Ice (D)
Blue Wedgwood
Blueberry Tart
Prairie Sky

mctavish6-you might want to get ahold of van wade in ohio, he ships to canada.

Aside for the ones I ordered already.
I would love to have these:
cracker crumbs
praying hands
olive branch
sultana
Liberty
and a streaker thrown in for good measure!!
I'd find room somewhere LOL

My top 5 are:
Emerald Ruff Cut
Dawn's Early Light
Prairie Sky
Chickadee
Peanut
I've ordered 43 hostas already, and am just waiting for the AHS Convention in Indianapolis and First Look in CT
this summer to see some of my favorite vendors and more hostas!

I can't really decide on my top 5 just yet, but here's a stab at it:
Ginsu Knife
Ice Age Trail
Sharp Shooter
Queen of the Seas
Rosendale Golden Goose
I've only ordered three hostas so far (can you believe my restraint). I want to wait to see what House of Hosta will have this spring.

I've already order 20-something. LOL

Would love:

Queen of the Seas
Something streaky
Filagree/Dr. Reath
Flower Power
Glad Rags

Ok...I mostly randomly picked some from my list of a bazillion but they ARE 5 that I want! :)

I haven't picked all of mine, yet, but I saw another poster had chosen Dawn's Early Light, and I would love to have this one. My future daughter-in-law's name is Dawn, and I would like to plant this for her. Can you tell me who sells it?

$22.50 Savory (2005)
Â15.00 Fransen (2003)
$50.00 Plant Delights (2001)

Here is a link that might be useful: I copied it from here

That must be really old information. I got one last year for $12.00. I'll try to remember to look at my hosta finder tonite and post the results!

I just did a quick check on Dawn's Early Light and found these for sale:
Direct Source Hostas $13.95
Savory's Gardens $20.00
Plant Delights $26.00
Klehm's Song Sparrow $22.95.

Cowboy

I am not sure if theses are on the top of my wish list however I have found a supplier for these in Canada:

Victory
Marilyn Monroe
Lake Side Beach Capt
Power Puff
Cool Hand Luke

Where is House of Hosta? Do they have a website?

Janet

House of Hosta is located just outside of Green Bay. He doesn't have a website, but I think he does mail order. They have a great selection of hostas at very, very resonable prices.
