Did you separate it from the original plant 3 years ago and it keeps coming back looking like that? Very cool!! Maybe you can register it as a new hosta through AHS. I just divided a large, pot bound EA and so far both halves are looking great. Love that hosta, but you sport is awesome! Congrats!

3 Years old and it's retained that lovely white streak ... bodes well for its stability.

Can't recall a cultivar that resembles it off the top of my head ... bodes well for registering it.

Vigor seems to have been retained due to the majority of the leaf remaining green ... bodes well for success in other gardens.

Overall size and shape are very pleasing ... bodes well for desire from others to grow it in their garden.

Question is, what will you name it ?

Best,

Ludi

VERY nice score!

Wow, Ludi! You just qualified it! :D

woodnative, bet you are happy! It is streaking beautifully. I will be peering at my own often...got it last year.

LOl Thanks folks! I like it but will keep it around a couple years more before registering. There was a small normal earth angel and a little streaky eye when I got it, if I remember. Divided off the normal. Kept this going. I think I posted here too I should look for the old thread to refresh my own memory of exactly when. It has luckily increased in size and eyes, as I had some harsh conditions here the last two winters exceptionally cold and exceptionally droughty summers. It is in a pot still just replanted it in a larger one but did not divide it yet. There is some normal streaking in some of those leaves, like any other streaked 'Earth Angel' or streaked Hosta. I wish there was some more of that. I don't get those "extra" streaks of white........is there an extra layer of tissue(?)or is that just areas of extreme streaking(?).........we shall see how it continues to develop. I need to get another pic it really is an attractive Hosta, even moreso than this pic shows. The blues are bluer as typical of 'Earth Angel', and of course there is the added debris above!

Woodnative,

Hope you don't mind I added a link to your original post, to keep them together, for reference:

Yes thank you dgregory....! Much more organized. Nice to see how much it has developed too!

That's a good looking hosta. Nice to compare the old pic with it. The leaves are fuller now and what a nice pattern they have. Good find!

This has not unfurled yet but it was producing some nice thick eyes so I finally divided a couple off of it. Good to not have all your eggs in one basket. I will update when it/they unfurl!!

Thanks for sharing, it's beautiful.

One of the single eye divisions.

It's beautiful.

Yes, I can see why. Thanks for keeping us up to date on this.

So cool! I love the follow up!

Wow, now that’s a hosta id make room in my garden for. Very nice woodnative!

Oh my goodness. Does it set seed?

liquidfeet I have not gotten seed from it yet. 'Blue Angel' (and its sports) apparently do set some seed but rarely.

That is stunning!

That looks like a beautiful watercolor painting. I am so glad it is holding well. What do its flowers look like?
