Alleghan Fog has remained stable for me.

I'm pretty sure Ice Age Trail is stable. I believe it has been TC'd so that would indicate stability to me. Not as sure about Galaxy. That's all I've got.

Ice Age Trail has been very unstable for me....

I only have one streaker,Korean Snow,and it's always streaked for me. Phil

This was year 6 for 'Ice Age Trail' in my yard. The degree of streaking has varied over that time-frame but it's still a streaker. No solid coloured leaves and no edge variegated or medio-variegated ones in that time.

I also have 'Ray of Hope' and the bulk of that is still streaked, though I have had some edge variegated shoots -'Roller Coaster Ride'- over the 6 years I've had it, but no solid coloured ones or medio-variegated

Ice Age Trail typically reverts to Big Daddy.

Galaxy reverts to a solid green plant (Green Town), so I periodically have to divide it.

Hi Don.Here are some that I have that so far are stable:
Allen Haskell-2 years in garden
Blizzard-2 years stable
Hyugo Urajiro-5 or 6 years stable
Kisuji-3 years stable but tends to be viridescent
Korean Snow-5 or 6 years stable
Piedmont Stripe-3 years stable-might be more misted than streaked
Ray of Hope-2 years stable
Stealth-3 years stable
Swirls-5 plus years stable
Swoosh -3 or 4 years stable
Tsugaru Komachi -3 years stable
Winter Lightning-4 years stable-Is this considered streaked?
Yoshinogawa-3 years stable
Phil-too many years and not so stable

Here's my plant of Silver Threads and Golden Needles. It looks a little streaked in the middle to me.

Steve

the problem with streaked Hostas is that they are unstable. Or is that the fun of growing them?

I don't consider Allegan Fog, Korean Snow, Winter Lightning, or Silver Threads and Golden Needles to be "true streakers".....meaning plants you would collect seed from to grow on. but I do think Galaxy is a very worthy plant. and I never had any reversion on mine until I stupidly cut into it and divided it to share. then I got green leaves. I should have left it alone. Ice Age Trail is always going to stabilize and be an already named plant.
Good luck getting Ray of Hope set seed. It is so late....
Just my input...

You're right, Rox. I've never had any success with it. BUT, I'm having success with using 'Ray of hope' pollen and I'm anxious to see what will become of my crosses with 'Hacksaw' and sieboldii 'Alba' which were in bloom the same time as ROH and would appear to have viable seeds.

Hi Phil,

I've grown Swoosh for perhaps 12-15 years. I found my plant to be somewhat rhizomatous...forming a loose, spreading mat of foliage rather than one compact clump like many other hostas do.

My plant eventually reached about 4 ft. across. The new rhizomes were variegated, but the established ones were nearly all green. So I kept the streaky and variegated eyes and got rid of the rest. :)

Kaleidochrome...2 years holding
Hyugo Urajiro...2007...looks better each year.
Ice Age Trails....2007...always streaked. Sends out streaked seedlings also.
