Comments (30)I have never been an all green hosta fan. Perhaps because those are the hostas I remember from when I was a kid. Basically Lancifolias and they were everywhere. Even today as a collector and addict, I am not fond of them. And yet, I have them all along the north side of my house. They were moved there to make room for new hostas. The north side is very shady. Not sure what else would grow well in that spot except My “snowball“ Hydrangea (that’s what we kids called it) which I think was planted when the house was built in 1935. So you can maybe understand why I tend to like green hostas with margins or leaf color variation. That said, I see many all green hostas I like, but also like Steve, I am confused about what is green. I did not include any hostas that are chartreuse in color because I thought there is a yellow/chartreuse category coming. comments: windy, that fluted fountain is beautiful and I am sure I never saw that as a kid shadow, I love the light color and veining of Kingsize peren, love Clausa var clausa, Goober is a beauty with its purple flowers and Red October is on the list steve, you are’s as confused about what’s green as I am. Were you wounded as a kid like me, surrounded by the monotony of Lancifolias?? I do like your Devon green hosta_maker, I like the rumpled look of that leaf on the Beilstein seed mbug, your Irish Luck convinces me how stunning all green hosta can be! thank you lovers of green hostas for bringing me into your “green” world!! :-D debra...See MoreHosta Giants 2020
Comments (21)oursteelers, debra- thanks, my FS is in almost all sun, but gets a lot of water. I love its subtle coloring and thick leaves. I don’t have S&S, but have it’s other baby- Winter Snow- which does burn and get ratty with too much sun. FS seems to tolerate the sun better, but again- plenty of water....See MoreHosta Seedlings and Sports 2020
Comments (26)Excellent! Hosta Maker shows up with some very promising youngsters. What's worse, having something interesting that's already out there, or having something interesting that just doesn't grow? Do you still use it for breeding? Here's a pic of the Hosta Volunteer Nursery. I think a bunch are from Dancing Queen.A seedling from a streaker found at Cory's Wildflower GardensIt looks like I may need to split it already to save the streaky part. Or is it not worth the effort if it is stabilizing so quickly? Kaleidochrome seedling Valley's Top seedling planted in too much sun. Now where did I move that to?

Beth & utog Unforgettable is!
Shadow nice looking Erronema.
utog Unruly Child is a beauty.
Nothing exciting from me.
U. Albomarginata #1 which I will likely take out to make room for another or others since it takes up a good amount of space.
U. Albomarginata #2 growing well enough between a huge maple and huge butternut.
U. Univittata

Beth Unforgettable is a really pretty one
shadow, looks like you have a couple of sporting white leaves.....are you going to separate those out and see what you get?
utog, that Unruly Child is.....well unruly looking..... :-)
hosta_maker, I am so impressed with your unnamed seedlings......the colors you are producing seem completely different from any other “hosta makers”, they’re beautifu!
miles you have so many nice hostas, I wish you were able to post
I have only 1 u and it’s very common:

3 years agoJust one crappy picture of Urchin, but a great looker and grower.
I appreciate all the pics of Undulata albormarginata as I have one when I moved in and now I'm even more sure that is what it is. I had to pull it out of the ground and put it into pots to make room for new stuff. I may not have it much longer anyway, lol.

3 years agoOnly one U for me.
Undulata albomarginata (in May)
in June
I decided last year that if I wanted more room for hosta, I had to get rid of some. I decided to get rid of U. Erromena and U. Univittata. It was really hard for me to do. Now I see yours and wish I had kept a small piece of U. Erromena and Univittata. U. Erromena had been in my garden for decades and U. Univittata was probably from my in-laws. I have a chance to get U. Univittata back as it is planted at a family plot at the cemetery but doing poorly. I told my husband to remove it from there this spring and bring it to me!
