Comments (32)I agree and UtOG your LPPs looks great for being two year olds. It was one of my first purchases at a local Hosta farm (now retired). I mentioned the plant was a little small hoping for a discount. Nope, no discounts . . . but we will sell you two for one! Happy Dayz (no, that was from a different, but nearby place). Turns out those plants are small for a reason. They grow s l o w l y. At least for me. Still just two single eyes planted in 2016 but the leaves are bigger. Perhaps I will pot one up this year after beating it against the driveway. Chatterbox is new for me last year. I started it in a pot before putting it in the ground later in the year. With my luck, it won't look this big again for many years. Color Blue finally starting to increase. Planted in 2018 but it does throw up some nice looking seedlings. Dividing Line planted 2019. Spellbinder split from a cramped pot and planted in 2019. Dragonfly by June planted in 2018 and moved a couple times. Full Tide split from a full pot in 2018 and never missed a beat at the top of a little hill between two maples in the shade. One of my favorite Lakesides. Another good one for me. Keepsake - lost the middle of the clump to rot or some varmint but it keeps chugging on. Planted in 2018 - now with dinner salad. Midnight Miss planted in 2018. I really like Symphony which does OK in a tough spot, planted in 2019. My favorite is Old Smokey which was greatly diminished by the maple tree roots. Planted in 2016. Rescued in 2020. Just nothing else in this color out there....See MoreHosta L 2022 No Lakesides
Comments (31)In my experience the color on Luna Moth is very stable shortly after the spring flush when it starts a little muted with less color contrast. Shadow's is either very early or growing in a lot of shadow (pun intended). Once upon a time I had a row of Luna Moths with more sun (and less root competition) towards the right side of the photo....See MoreBeth (5b - SE-Michigan)

L. Stormwatch
L. Paisley Print
The picture makes it look closer to Christmas Tree than it actually is, although they will be a bit too close when they mature.

3 years agoSome Lakesides don't grow well for me and others are just getting started, but I still have pics of half of mine. L. Banana Bay really glows in the light.
L. Dragonfly is one of the great growers.
L. Full Tide never missed a beat after splitting a full pot (I got 3 eyes in 2018).
L Keepsake had some crown rot last year but kept right on growing.
L Paisley Print is a slow grower but I wouldn't be without it.
May post the troublemakers later.

Mary was a prolific breeder to say the least. Beth you have a great collection of them.
Cha Cha & Dragonfly always stand out. Banana Bay, Black Satin & Ripples are also ones to look for.
L. Cupcake needs more shade than it gets.
L. Dot Com
L. Down Sized is a really good grower.
L. Looking Glass - this pic does not show just how shiny it is.
L. Old Smokey
L. Paisley Print
L. Tee Ki
These three are awaiting planting.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoSome lakeside breeders I got from Mary before she closed
i call this one Mary’s dark secret. She didn’t show origin on many of her plants
probably came out of her ventricosa line. She sold them in little six packs.
a streaker my first Lkside breederIt’s been cut back 3 times to keep it streaked
not much vigor to this onenext generation lakeside mom. Which was probably out of fascination

3 years agohstamaker - "It’s been cut back 3 times to keep it streaked" - so when you have a reversion, you just cut it back to the crown? Doesn't it always come back the following year?
No Lakeside's here - This is my lakeside.

Sunnywood and perenn.all have some great looking Lakesides! Mine aren't thriving I’m afraid...
L.Black Satin is very elegat but soooo slow grower as is L.Storm Watch - didn’t even bother to take photos of them last summer. Paisley Print I loved but it kept getting smaller and smaller and I lost it (- have to get a new one!)Lakeside Dragonfly is buried under a japanese maple so I keep forgetting that it even exists but I dug it up in August and took a photo:

3 years agoLaurie, that’s quite a Lakeside collection you have. I finally added two, hope they do well.
Lakedside Paisley Print was added last spring.
Lakeside Cupcake has been in the garden two seasons. I thought I had lost it from neglect and relocation. It bounced back last season, wish the photo was better.

3 years agoLove some of the LS hostas here.....love LS Banana Bay and LS Cha Cha. But old_dirt I definitely want your lakeside!!!!
To bad lindalana is not participating this year, she has quite a few if I remember well......
I only have one, LS Paisley Print.
Didn’t like this location, it was burning. So moved to another spot, still not happy so I put in a pot in shade only for a month.
Started looking better so I planted it.
thank you all for your well wishes tomorrow. I will catch up when I get home Friday or Saturday. :-)debra

3 years agoPaula, nice to hear your good news!
I like LS's but have had mixed results with some, but always looking for more.
Old Dirt,,,,very nice lakeside!
Lakeside Black Mama 7-15-20.....stuck too close to a big Victory. Need to find it new spot, but space has become limited.
Lakeside Color Blue 5-23-20....my newest one. Looking forward to seeing how it looks in the spring.

3 years agoWhat a big category Lakesides make up. I always like how Dragonfly looks. I lost Storm Watch in the yard somewhere and found it and moved it last spring. Just shows how many plants I have that I could lose one for years, think it died, and find it later on, lol! It's a survivor! Only a few leaves so no pic, but I'm hopeful it will thrive now.

Lakeside Baby Face
My second try at Lakeside Paisley Print because this one is too pretty not to have.

3 years agoGreat jokes Paula. I especially like the cat one!
It seems that Lakeside Masterpiece (Beth) and Lakeside Lollipop (sunywood) are calling my name!
I think I only have 4 different Lakesides but only photos of two of them.
Lakeside Love Affaire. I love this one. Here it is still looking good in August.
Lakeside Paisley Print. I have two of them.
Here is my second one which is bigger. Unfortunately, the hosta beside it is even bigger! I wasn't sure whether I wanted to cut some of the leaves off of the larger hosta so that LPP could get more light. It actually seemed to be doing fine though.
Here it is on October 24. I finally did cut some leaves off the hosta towering over it.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoL. Cupcake center melted out for me too. I potted it up my first winter and left it outside (apparently) for the dog to play with. I didn't bother trying to rescue it after that but I love the way it looks in the spring.
Paisley Print has such variety as it matures. Debra's looks like it might be streaking/sporting.
Thanks to Shadow, Little Tuft is moving up my list.
I bought a full pot of L. Spellbinder and divided it into a good chunk and several smaller pieces. Here it is the next year creeping along.
Some other 2nd year/small starts/slow growers for me.
clockwise from top left: Storm Watch, Symphony, Dividing Line, Prophecy Fulfilled. Hoping for good growth from these this year.
L. Old Smokey may be my favorite. I had a great start but the Maple Tree roots and my delayed response left me in reclamation mode.
in 2017 - just slightly smaller than when I planted it the previous year.
2018 - would've been a good time to rescue it, but no.
2019 after digging, potting and later replanting. Every eye was separate so I replanted the 3 biggest ones and left the others in small pots.
2020 on the comeback trail, but not loving the frost.
Still looking for Breaking News (ordered but never delivered), Cindy Cee, Frosted Mint, Little Tuft (now), Reflecting Glass, Sir Logan (passed when I had the chance), Tropical Breeze.
