2015 Hosta of the Year
Comments (16)They announce the Benedict Medal at the AHS convention... so the 2013 Convention just announced 2013 - First Frost... based on voting from the summer of 2012. Voting for 2014 is going on now. I think the goal of the award is being met. Though there are lots of good candidates, for the final vote you can only select one. The winner each year truly is a fine hosta. The winners so far...(in reverse order) First Frost Niagara Falls Blue Mouse Ears Sagae June One Man's Treasure Whirlwind Gold Standard Every one a proven winner - and able to perform well across the regions! If you'd like to be a judge - meaning you get to vote on the Benedict Garden Perfomance Medal, please sign up. The selection process would be improved by a wider range of judges, especially from some under-represented regions. The ballot this year is a tough one... tell you what... I'll start a separate thread and let people lobby my vote by giving me their ONE vote!...See MoreHosta S 2015

Comments (80)Donna, I just read your sad news. I'm so sorry about your precious Kate. That's very sad. To all you kitty lovers, I do have a word of caution. I hesitated to write about this but feel it might help someone in the future. Last spring I received a purchased Hosta that had been cut from the mother plant instead of being grown as its own individual plant. This was a first for me. The folks who sent it had dipped or sprinkled some sort of yellow-colored substance on the cut portion ~ likely an anti-fungal or something. Anyway, when Hostas arrive I always let them soak for a day or two in a container on the counter. At the time I had 2 Maine Coons and a rescue kitty. Despite always having fresh water available, two of my kitties sneaked up on the counter and drank the water the Hosta was soaking in. Both were sick immediately and the rescue kitty never did it again. But the one Maine Coon, Pearl, continued to do it whenever my back was turned. I finally figured it out after a few days (it had been raining for days so the plant stayed on my counter longer than usual) and took the plant outside. Pearl seemed to recover initially, but two weeks later she really began to have problems. I won't go into the details but it was awful. After weeks of testing and months of trying to treat her we had to have her put to sleep. Pancreatic failure. She was only 6 years old. Cats will be cats. You have house rules like staying off table tops and counters, cats live by their own rules, at least when your back is turned. Watch out for treated Hostas....See MoreHosta Medium 2015

Three pics for "triple ripple", lol.

Only one photo in Library - not much known about this one yet. Looks like a pretty good grower...last May 14 when I brought it home

Teaspoon starting its 4th year
Teaspoon has such a wonderful form and is a really rich green.
Teaspoon after deer ate some scapes and leaves. Great flowering on this one. (Wish I had a pic in full flower)

8 years agoWhat nice plants. So many of yours are in lots better shape and larger than mine after many years. Tequila Sunrise and The Razors edge were two of mine badly damaged by voles last year. They survived so it will be nice to see how they do this year. Faye what an amazing Touch of Class!
Here are some "t's" from me
