Going through Don Rawson's list makes me realize just how much I need to get digging and planting. I have a bunch of large upright ones to plant apart from every other catagory.
Krossa Regal with freshly planted Trollius
montana 'Aureomarginata' - pic from last year not munched by deer.
Regal splendor early season to show off those legs.
Sagae & Krossa Regal from a couple of years ago when I had 2 dogs keeping the deer at bay.
Emerald Ruff Cut last year in the drought but no deer damage.
ERC this year
Hands Up - looking forward to getting this planted. sandslopes I think you got one too, it will be fun to see them grow up together.
Praying Hands
Slow start today.

Which upright/vase shaped Hosta for this area?
Comments (23)Purple and yellow/chartreuse go great together, and you already have a good green pallet. I like the geranium and the purple flowering edger together for color AND texture A striking and bold hosta would really stand out in the center. Last year I'd added a Blaze of Glory and its color would be perfect in the spring, though it became more chartreuse-green later in the year. I am sure the abount of direct sun would influence that. I'm not sure about the grown size of this hosta but mine seems to have an upright habit. Can anyone contribute a pic & info of Blaze of Glory? Every one has a different perception of beauty, so all I can do is offer an opinion and see if you like it! Some times when I am having a problem deciding such as color blends I make cut-outs and make layouts with them. The cheap art colored-marker sets can be used to create a wide variety of color blots on paper which can be cut into circles and played with. Les...See MoreNeed Advice - Best Vase Shaped Hostas
Comments (29)How about nigrescens or Tenryu. I took an eye off my nigrescens a year ago last summer and put it into a new garden. The first picture is that plant and the picture was taken last night. The second and third picture is of Tenryu, which looks quite a bit like nigrescens....See MoreWhat is the most upright, vase-shaped hosta?
Comments (6)Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have three very large Krossa Regals already. I was looking for other possibilities. And they don't have to be large--any size is fine. Petertje, I will check out your website--thanks for the link....See MoreVase shaped Hosta for the sun (lots of sun)
Comments (13)Teresa, I am in White Bear Lake, so we're pretty comparable climate wise. Esox--great shot of the most fabulous Sun Power I've ever seen!. Thanks all for your input. I had no idea I'd end up with so many choices. I do have a young Ebb Tide, Nigrescens, and Liberty which I can use. I have many of the other ones mentioned, but they're too established where they are. But it's nice to know how sun tolerant they are. Thanks again. Mary...See More

6 years agoUpright, vase-shaped are some of my favorites, always have been sort of a leg man. lol
Peacock Strut
Forbidden Fruit-doesn't really show how it reaches upward.
Krossa Regal
Regal Splendor

After I had read the good advice of how to replace a big hosta I easily dug out my second big Krossa Regal ...
Like nicholsworth I had more than one because I love the great shape and color...
a beauty in late October...
Regal Splendor in spring...
After my cat chewed at one of the leaves...
The spot under the hedge behind Regal Splendor is one of his favourite places...you don't need deer or rabbits if you have a cat like him...
Eyeing Gold Regal, maybe thinking about tasting another one...
A small Regal Rhubarb, need to get a better picture of the red stems this season...
and Praying Hands...

6 years agoLaurie, your gardens and all of your hostas are so inspiring to me. And yes, I have ordered Hands Up so hope to get a good root system to start out with. I'm not sure yet if I'll plant it in the ground or try it in a pot. Yours looks off to a good start.
Karin, your kitty looks so content to be among your plants. Funny that he will take a bite out of a leaf now and then. People eat hosta leaves, or I think it might be the shoots, so maybe they taste good? I'd rather admire them than eat them.
Here's a pic from last year of Victory looking vase-like.

Electrocution — this year I’ll take more leg shots.
Arc de Triomphe
Crocodile Rock
Foxfire Palm Sunday
Iris Frazier

Joyride
Midnight Sun

6 years agoMississippi Delta — I haven’t had a lot of luck with Olga’s hybrids, but this one is doing OK.
Niagara Falls in the evening. This is the other one of Olga’s that’s doing ok. Mississippi Delta and Niagara Falls are both backyard hostas, the rest of my garden is on the sandy hill in front of the house. The backyard is further down the hill and close to the creek, really different ecosystems.
Proud Sentry
Purple Lady Fingers — one day this will be a stunning display by the birdbath. So much of my garden is more impressive in my mind’s eye than in reality. I think I’ll go pull the periwinkle out of this bed today.
SILVER STAR™️
Summer Squall is pretty upright, Atlantis behind it, Blue Hawaii way back by the pine tree and Deep Blue Sea in front.
The King
Tidewater — it’s hard to get a good pic of this (slow-growing) hosta. Luna Moth so upstages it.

6 years agozkathy, I would not have thought of Foxfire Palm Sunday, but as you show it above I had a look at my pictures and it is growing upright :-) It's an interesting hosta, I'm really excited how it will go on with it.
Every time I see Proud Sentry I am really tempted and Tidewater is another one for the list. Have seen a bigger one in a friend's garden and it is gorgeous!
