Hosta G 2019 ....
Comments (69)Mbug, I really like that Golden Prayer. It would be a good edger plant I think. Your Guardian Angel is definitely an award winner! So large, so perfect! newhostalady, I I love that little Geisha in a pot! Also, Golden Meadows is awesome zkathy, your Gosen Sunproof is a beauty. In that first picture it looks like it just rained on the leaves. I also like the Gold Edger, it would also make a good edger. oursteelers, my heart breaks for you. Those (explicative) slugs!!! They ate my on of my So Sweets into this state......it is infuriating, isn’t it? Will you move it?...See MoreHosta T 2019 ........
Comments (34)Karin, love your Tickle me Pink also. I like that long leaf tip! Twist of Lime has the lovely coloring that we both seem to love. zkathy, the hosta was actually labeled Jack Of Spades.....ha, it obviously isn’t. When I saw old_dirt’s Twilight, it gave me pause. I don’t think it’s QJ because it doesn’t have a fragrant flower. Doesn’t QJ have a fragrant flower? Anyway I don’t have any other idea what it could be. I was hoping someone here (like you) would have An idea. Steve, thanks for the invite to visit....you never know......but I do live 90 minutes from The Land of the Giants, a bit closer. But then I wouldn’t get to see your lovely yard and meet you!...See MoreHosta Minis 2019
Comments (33)Peren.all, your minis are over-achievers! My goodness what are you feeding those things? When I first started with hostas, I knew nothing of minis. My introduction to them (and now a bona fide obsession) started with a gift of several from a forum member. I blame him! But like peren.all, I say the more the merrier. They are easy to squeeze in. Well mine are! I think peren.all's may not be squeezed so easily. Here's a minibowl I made last year definitely was inspired by someone else here. Venusta, Blonde Elf, and Bill's Dress Blue along with their friend a dwarf Hinoki cypress. Minis are so cute I can't even stand it! I need more....See Morehosta Vase like 2019
Comments (16)Paula I am sorry you need surgery but thankful it is for non cancerous growth. Apparently the important item here is toilet paper. I was at the grocery store yesterday and food was plentiful but there was about 40 ft. of empty shelf where the TP should have been. Yes, you need Hosta therapy! I look forward to knowing what you choose. Such beauties! Yes, newhostalady it seems World Cup should be on the list. I got Smoke Signals last year and was surprised it did not make the list either.Emerald Ruff Cut Hands Up Komodo Dragon Krossa Regal Liberty - I hope mine takes a leap this year! montana Aureomarginata Praying Hands Regal Splendor Sagae...See More

Blue Angel is over 8 1/2 feet.
Humpback Whale - will be happy to get this planted.

I bought a Blue Angel based on the seller saying his experience was it was the largest blue Hosta in the Atlanta area. So I bought it and it took a few years but it truly is a giant.
Empress Wu has really impressed me despite my aversion to green hostas.
A smaller Empress Wu with two out of three Earth Angels around it.
Climax is my favorite giant variegated Hosta.

4 years agoSum and Substance finally showed it's potential
I divided Blue Angel and it was not as big as the years before
Empress Wu still small after 4 years, I gave it to a friend to make room for others
Paul's Glory did a good job in 2019
I have high hopes for Valley's Ice Giant

4 years agoNorthern Gardener..it's hard work but it's possible..tie up the leaves if it's leafed out..use a garden fork..over and over and over!!..going around the root ball until eventually the hosta's free to move..drag it on a tarp to the new location if you can't lift it into a wagon..these Krossa Regal were "free if you dig" that we rescued last year..this is the first season after the move..I see purple pips..I'm excited to see them fresh and new..
