My Hosta Has Produced its Own New Totally Different Hosta?, ID?
Comments (8)not a seed... seedlings are solid colored or streaked... so it wouldn't have this nice clear margin. Starting with the big one... my impression was also Honeybells. Honeybells has plantaginea heritage, so it has three of that species' traits - shiny, glossy leaves, sun tolerance, and fragrant flowers. The flowers aren't the big showy white plantaginea flowers, more lavender. Those traits should help you decide if that's what you have. The little one doesn't appear to have much in common with the big one. Looks like a young Fortunei Albomarginata. I have to suspect it is a stowaway, either a fragment that got in with the Honeybells at the nursery or snuck in with your potting soil at home. If you don't have one like it in your garden, then the first possibility seems the most likely......See MoreSeeking XL hosta ID
Comments (9)Thanks for the guess, Steve. I definitely never purchased Gentle Giant (until this year...small plant). I'm going to try going through my old list to see what big blue(blueish) hosta I have purchased in the past....See MoreSeeking ID - small olive colored hosta

Comments (9)I'm assuming your question is regarding the comment, "generic seedling look to it". What that means is there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about it. It's just green, with no ruffles, no streaks, and has no distinguishing characteristics. That's how most seedlings look. I have one of those. I've had it for years, and posted it numerous times for ID, with no luck. It originally came from a box of hosta I bought from Sam's about 25 years ago. It had a name, which I've forgotten, but it didn't match the description. Maybe it was labeled Royal Standard, or something like that - a very old cultivar. It wasn't it, though. It was one of the survivors of the great rot. If the flowers are remarkable or distinguishable in some way, it might get you an ID. Otherwise, you may not get an ID on it. There are just too may green hosta out there. bk...See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
