Any ideas on ID?

9 years ago

I got this hosta from a lovely hosta collector, but he had forgotten who this beauty was. He called her "behind garden treasure". Any ideas on who she could be? She has been in my garden for 3 years.

we probably need to know.. how the center changes color .... real early IDs are hard ...

It's really early in the season to ID a hosta. Sometimes we even need a photo of the flowers to ID one. There are several light green hosta with a dark green edge. Some I have that look similar to that are Paradigm, Bother Stefan and Paul's Glory. There are others. When it is fully leafed out, we might be able to ID it. But, like I said it may take a photo of the flowers. Show it to us a little later in the season and we can do a better job.

I think what you have as Tide Line is Tide Line. One of those Tinkers photos is oversaturated and unnatural. When Hanson says orchid lavender He means a lighter color like yours. Occasionally in very cool temps, his orchid lavenders will look like the other photo on Tinkers. Take a look at the photos on Dave's Plantfiles. There are a couple that really match your Tide Line. Your purple unusual form looks a lot like Peacock Maiden. Debra

macranthos Thanks for your input. Best I can come up with has to be Trifolium spp. :-)) Found several with leaves of similar shape/size but nothing with this colouration. All I can hope for is that the gods will be kind to me and tell it to flower before I return to the UK. As one of my "best friends" is Murphy, I won't be holding my breath. Thanks again Fof

Sharon, I don't think it's OV. That one looks like it's bigger and has more petals than mine. Ben, that was the consensus on one of my facebook groups too. So far Impatient has the most votes, lol.
