I just went through this list the other day (difficult in the format it was in) and I have a question. The revision says 2004 - are there not more names that should be added? If so, does anyone know what they would be?

Thanks! Wow! Krossa Regal seems quite interesting in form. How blue is the color??? I measured the area last night (after moving some smaller plants and yanking out all the violets that had taken over). It's basically 36"width x 36"depth, with a least a foot of wiggle room on the width angle, as it would be fine if some of the plant grows behind the pine tree that centers this shaded bed. In May, I bought "Love Pat" at the Sisters' Plant Sale (an annual plant yard sale at someone's home in eastern Mass.) not really knowing what it is. I liked the color and the form (and the price) so I got it. Now I know it will get a lot bigger than the space I planted it in! Thanks for all this information and all these suggestions!! Judye whose eyes and desires are bigger than her yard!

Here are some photos of our recent resurfacing, using PebbleTec Pebblesheen in Prism Blue. You can see how it changes color at different depths. We especially love how it goes from medium blue to dark blue as the sun moves to shade throughout the day. This color also has abalone shells so there is a little sparkle as the sun hits it.

Here is the list containing 462 names. When you see names of hostas on the same line but separated by a front slash ( / ), this means that these are look-alike: List of Distinct Hostas It is said that out the 3800 to 4000 now registered and NR hosta varieties, between 450 and 500 are DISTINCT ONES.
