It looks like Fortunei Aureomarginata to me. Here is the link to the Hosta Library.

Yes, it does look like it likes your mom's place!

Thanks. Do you know where hosta fortunei originates from? From my research this hosta seems is of garden origin but it has to be based off some country. One website said that Robert fortune went to China to search for rhododendrons. Then it said he bought back this plant but did not state whether he bought it back from China or not. Hmm...

I’m no expert but this looks like my Sagae.

Sherry, I do see a resemblance of Sagae, now that you mention it.

Hostas originate from China, Japan and Korea.

more than you will ever want to know on species: http://www.hostalibrary.org/sp/sp.html

Try posting your photo on the Hosta forum. My guess would be Sagae also, but the folks on the Hosta forum (including Ken in that group) are positively brilliant and can answer any questions as well as identify most NOIDs.

I did include the hosta forum. Well how about this plain green hosta? What species is that? also why isn’t this hosta dying yet? My dad put it in our small pond, fully submerged thinking that it will be a good pond plant since every hosta on our property gets eaten to the ground every year anyway. It’s been a week and a half And not even any signs of yellow. I thought plants, unless they are true aquatics, need air in their roots or else it will suffer from root rot?

A species is a naturally occurring plant in the wild (or a definition close to that). What you have are varieties. They were bred by someone. In most/some cases, someone chose pollen from one plant and placed in in the flower of another to get seeds. They then planted that seed and grew those plants for a while and kept the best ones. That's why there are so many varieties of hosta.

The above is a simplified/condensed/generalized version of how we get varieties, but you can get an idea of the differences between species and varieties from my loose definition.

Solid green hosta are the hardest to identify. There are literally thousands of varieties of hosta. Not all of those make it into production, though. Also, new varieties are always coming out. Older varieties sometimes fall out of favor and of course solid green is the most common hosta. Photos of the hosta in spring, and then with flowers and again if those flowers make seed. All of those can help identify a hosta.

That green one is really nice. I hope it makes it.

By far, the vast majority of the more than 6,000 registered hosta cultivars are hybrids, so typically more than one species involved (although intraspecific hybrids are also relatively common).

Bkay, sorry but that is not true. They are called cultivars. A variety of a plant is also naturally occurring as well as subspecies. Also, I wasn’t referring to ‘species’ in that Way. I call my plants with no cultivars species plants, that’s that. So yes you don’t call them a species plant because they have a cultivar but all cultivars of a plant come from some species of a plant. Even hybrids originate from a mixture of different species. For ex miscanthus sinensis ‘adagio’, Adagio is a cultivar but derived from the genus and species miscanthus sinensis, respectively. I’m sure you know this but just letting you know that is not what I meant When I referred to what species.

And does anyone know how long it will take until this Hosta starts showing signs of rot.

I don't know about the longevity of the hosta in the pond but I plant the weak or broken bits in the bog garden and they grow like crazy. After they recover/multiply I put them in the ground. So I know they can survive in a wet environment.

Green one in the water looks like ventricosa.

Sherrygirl, I love your hosta, but I don’t think it is Sagae. Jimr66’s picture is spot on: leaves are broader, with deeper veining; plant is more vase shaped; colour bolder; yellow edges wider and deeper, they leave the green almost flame shaped. Here is a picture of mine, behind a peony. I have better pictures, but not on my phone, and my computer is being fixed.

Heruga, did that green hosta start rotting yet? lol

I would caution about being too precise in exactly what a single hosta cultivar will look like. Or any other named cultivar of any plant for that matter. Different growing conditions will always influence appearance to some degree and stock plants themselves can vary with various suppliers. Especially with anything variegated. Patterning and placement can have subtle differences, even from year to year and certainly from plant to plant.

One of the premier hosta nurseries in the country - Naylor Creek - shows a photo of Sagae in their catalog that could be the identical twin of the OP's plant.........

I know what I have above is Sagae. I suggest photos from Land of the Giants, Fransen and Naylor be checked. These guys know hosta. My Sagae is vase shaped, photo is taken from above.

Sherry

Sorry Sherry, seeing the other pictures, yours falls in that spectrum, certainly if it is also vase shaped. Learned something today. Let me then finish with saying that I like your Sagae.
