yellow hosta ID please?

14 years ago

Hi, folks! You've all been so helpful with other IDs, I thought I'd try my own:

I've had a yellow hosta since 2005 which my mom bought me thinking it was Sunpower. It doesn't seem to have the right leaves, though, yes?

It's 3 feet wide now, only gets yellow green (some variegated leaves 1st TIME this summer) in my VERY shady garden--1 1/2 hours of direct sun. It bloomed about 3-4 weeks ago; it has pale lavender blooms.

Thoughts? (Click on photos for closeups on Photobucket for help seeing better)

well phil.. there is an argument.. that your two.. and the other two.. are all actually the same plant... named way back when by different sellers .. and if you saw 5 foot clumps of each in my garden.. within 50 feet of each other.. you would probably agree.. and add a couple others that are near exact copies ... ken ps: i used to be a name collector.. and it took a long time to understand.. that many of the oldies.. have many names.. and apparently.. i bought them all ...

It was. We were also lucky that there wasn't much else in the yard-- so we had some good building blocks AND a clean slate at the same time. The perfect place to land for someone with a Japanese maple obsession. ;) I'm now thinking #2 isn't Paul's Glory, but Old Glory. The blue edges don't stand out as much on mine, at any time of year, as they seem to in Paul's Glory photos here in the forum. The margins on mine also seem thinner than the ones on Paul's Glory. When I look at Old Glory, it seems more familiar. They're all so similar to an untrained eye-- it's maddening and fascinating at the same time.

MCG please learn to post pics on this site without people having to click on them to go to a seperate web page? I hate photo bucket, you can copy the URL? from that site and post it on your message. so there is no click thing going on. and people can see you pics imediatley from your post
