Hosta L 2017 NO Lakesides
Wow I cannot believe we are on the L's. Please do not post any Lakesides today. Lakesides will have their own day. It was 24 degrees here this morning. I do not know how you do it up north.

Liberty - poor thing, dug out completely by squirrels and left on the "driveway" for a day right after planting. This year eaten by deer.

Comments (37)Hostanista, you picture of lancifolia in bloom is awesome! I don't have lancifolia, but it is ON THE LIST And I'm pleased to see another Little Jay, which I like. It is the reverse variegation of Verna Jean, a very strong growing smaller hosta. As well, I got a second Lemon Lime because of the pictures of it seen on here....think it was the same photo that was posted several months back? It seems to be able to fill in bare spots quickly. I got two Little Sunspots this summer, and cannot wait for it to do its best, and then there is my new love, Luna Moth. Just so it looks like Irawon's I'll be happy. Some cool pictures coming up in the "L" section! Here are the rest of mine. Lederhosen....I accidentally have two, only bought one in May 2010, and then a NOID from that same shipment from PDN seems to be a second Lederhosen instead of the plantaginea I ordered.....strange things happened on that order. So here are two different Lederhosen with two different colors: both blooming, in the foreground Lemon Lime #1 from Savory's #2 from Hornbaker Little Jay surrounded by Verna Jeans and maybe some White Doves? hmmmm.... Little Sunspot (I will upload it to Flickr later....can't believe I ignored it this whole year!) Little White Lines Liverpool White....late late after October it arrived.It is upper right side. Longissima Love Pat....it came late this year too Lucy Vitols...she's the one in the shiny big green pot, a lot of eyes with this girl when it arrived in late September.

Comments (83)Just walk away from Lemon Juice, McT. HVX straight from the hybridizer. As beautiful as it was, it was diagnosed immediately after I got it. Positive test result. Not worth the risk on this one. I'd love to have it, too. Luckily, I noticed it immediately and nothing else was infected....See MoreHosta L 2016 (No Lakesides)
Comments (54)Liberty is one heck of a hosta, as shown by your photos! It was the one that blew me away last year. You'd think I had photo edited the color! But I think Tiddisolo and I took our Liberty pictures at about the same time---during the time of the intense yellow border. Then later. What a transformation. From a different angle: Now Lancifolia can't compare with Liberty, but last season I found a new appreciation for it. I decided to divide my very old clump into several divisions. I thought: how can we not appreciate a hosta that does not require much upkeep; I've never had much frost damage and forms a perfectly round neat shape! Here is one of the divisions potted up....See MoreHosta Lakesides only 2017
Comments (56)mctav, your blue hostas always get my attention! The Lakeside Blue Jeans is beautiful, and the two blues to the left of Lakeside Sparkle Plenty look nice too. This time I gotta ask about a yellow hosta though. If you don't mind, could you tell me what is to the right of Lakeside Storm Watch? I don't have any Lakesides yet, but your guys' Paisley Print looks tempting (as does that Blue Jeans). I had to stop adding any more names to my wish list since it got way too long with this year's alphabet and I probably won't be able to add many hostas on this year. Anxious (and excited) to see if all of last year's additions come back this Spring, and how they look this year. Pip counting can't get here soon enough!...See More

6 years agoWhat lovely L's today. Here are a few of mine.
Lancifolia is my workhorse hosta. I plant her around the edges of the garden and the deer snack on her first, usually leaving the rest of the garden alone.
Lancifolia in September, she has had a little too much sun.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoLeapin’ Lizard — moved this one last winter and lost track of where I put it. No question about it’s identity when it came up in the Spring.
Lederhosen — thanks to mcTavish for highlighting this one years ago, it’s one of my favorites.
Lemon Ice — comes up looking like this early spring and basically is star of the garden for weeks. I learned the hard way last year to move it to more shade when the Spring sun gets hot before the trees leaf out.
Lemon Zest — another Solberg introduction.
Limey Lisa — no complaints from this one.
Little Devil
Love Pat — moved later in the year so it can get big without annoying its neighbors.

Great looking Luna Moth, mbug. I want mine to look like that.
saija, your Lemon Lime may be small but not lacking in flowers. Cute!
Liberty, a little frost damage
Luna Moth -- I'm guessing it might like more sun to color up better.
Little Miss Sunshine coming up in May
Little Miss Sunshine yellows as the season progresses. (That green streak is an anomaly last year).

Luna Moth
Little Wonder (one of my faves and given to me by a forum friend)
I did purchase Loyalist last season. I look forward to seeing what it does. Liberty should probably go on my list. It's pretty stunning!

6 years agoPaula, I'm not sure how we tolerate the cold either! I just wish it didn't last as long. The cold makes me appreciate the warmth even more.
Nicholsworth55, you got to get a Liberty! I found it didn't look all that special for a few years, and then one more season and all of a sudden it transforms into a beautiful hosta---just as the above photos have displayed.
So here is mine:
And I think with more maturity it may get even better.

6 years agoI know what you mean about buying fewer hostas, nicholsworth55---I'm trying to do that too--- but it's a hard. Yes, do get one Liberty, or two or . . . LOL.
One more of Liberty:
I've heard that it is one of those hostas that doesn't like to be moved, so try to find it a permanent home when planting. I planted mine near tree roots, and it seems to have sunken a bit low, but I've decided not to elevate it unless I see decline.
