Can you ID these hostas and (pic heavy)

10 years ago

I finally took some pictures of some of the hostas. Can anyone help me ID them and identify any possible problems, buried too deep, virus, etc?

I know they are planted too close, and need mulch, I need to move some things around and the mulch has been waiting for me to do that.

1) This one is kinda small, it's moving because it's in the corner and debris from everywhere is blowing into it. Have a few of whatever they are.

3) in a 6 inch post

this ones leaves are the size ofmy hand
Got burnt
also does anyone know what kinda fern is growing beside it?
{{gwi:603989}}
Not sure what to do about this it has eyes come out the top, sides and bottom. I probably need to bury it more though.

whew
yes I do suck at taking picures, but I did try. Thank you for any help

finally.. been waiting for this ...

but please.. next time... no more than 2 or 3 ..per post...

#18 is perfectly planted. water it.. and ignore it ...

19 is going to have to grow up ...

17 wide brim ???

16 frosted jade of antioch???

and that is as much patience as i have for flipping up and down.. and all around ....

you have some nice ones here.. you will be amazed in a year or two ...

and some.. you might have to let them grow up a bit.. before you get a definitive ID ...

congrats.. proud to have enabled you so thoroughly ...

i am going to bump this back up to the top ...

if it falls down to page two.. with little reply.. try breaking it into more manageable parts ..

i wonder if 11 is paradigm ...

6 frosted jade or antioch ... again ...

7 invincible

a lot of these.. we will need to get them fully unfurled to have a better idea ... and some have transitory color changes.. that will aid in ID ....

8 gold standard ..

9 wolverine

11 more gold standard????

14 white edged sum and substance ...

i dont know.. i cant do the ID's like those peeps who roll around in their hosta beds ... i used to be able.. but not as much anymore ...

Aw, yours are all fresh and pretty right now. I love the wide range of greens that are on display. And I envy your pulmonaria--my husband bans spotted plants from our gardens. A couple more questions: What is the star-shaped ground cover you have with Carnival? And do you let your oak leaves deteriorate over the growing season or do you clear them out of your beds eventually? (I'd love to reduce the labor in my garden and let them deterioriate--I have maple leaves--but I find they harbor slugs!)

Thank you! So glad I found this board last year because I'm pretty sure I drive my friends crazy on facebook bombarding them with pics of my hostas every other day! HA! I am very impressed with Wolverine so far. He's a studly looking guy, I must say! Grand Tiara has 3 dormant eyes coming through now. She's on her way to recovering.

Hey Maow! Look what you found, eh? Lol First off, I just have to say again that I think your NOID is beautiful! I really hope mine will turn into that!!! I just took an update pic of Knockout and the NOID as it looks now...still small leaves but I attribute it to overwintering a division in a pot in this climate. I'm undecided where to plant it but I better come up with an answer soon. It will grow much better in the ground. Earlier I posted a thread where I thought I might have id'd the NOID as being Knockout. Ken thought it was close enough that it may be a Knockout. I hope it flowers so we can narrow it down some more. For now I have pics filed under both NOID and Knockout albums. See what you think, Maow. We could always revisit it in the fall if we can't get any closer I.D. now?

#6 looks like Francee.

I'll go through them again and see if I recognize any more.

Also, they will be easier to recognize when they get bigger and also the color and time of blooming may help.

1. Looks like Royal Standard. See if you get fragrant white blooms in August. Alternatively, try Honey Bells.
I agree with Ken. We do better with not more than three at a time.

Nice collection.

Marine wife,

I agree with Ken on #7 being Invincible. I got my Invincible and my Francee from GW and sons, so I know they have had both.

Post these again a little later when they get larger or bloom. That will help.

My opinion is:
#6 - Francee
#8 - Gold Standard
#10 Fortunei Aureo Marginata
#14 Winter Snow
#15 Orange Marmalade

Does your fern look like this one? They are native to NC also.
