Hosta D 2022............
Happy New Year everyone. I hope that this is going to be a Happy Hosta Year for you too. Lets see some Ds today:
And yes, Ms Peren my sleep clock is all over the place. But I am so happy I do not work anymore I do not care if I wake up at 2 am. My old company just laid off 50% of the work force. eek! Here is to a brand new year.

Comments (16)I had the same thought for Saija’s blue with round leaves as debra..Elegans.. Saija..does it produce lots of seed pods?.. old_dirt..I thought of Gold Drop along with Laurie and debra..I have Gold Drop but no great pics of it.. 2 pics of small volunteers.. in back..small green with white margins and a small green with ruffles? piecrust edges?..are both terms proper?.. then in front..a similar small green..I love both of the little green ones but the one in front is my favorite of the two.. it occurred to me that since these hosta are volunteers maybe they aren’t named cultivars?..does that seem possible?..I’ll leave the pics anyway.. is there a cultivar that they resemble?.....See MoreHosta Companion 2022 .............
Comments (40)Yes Laurie, that is Bartzella. I found one on sale in the fall. I couldn't grow Peony in So. Cal. so when I moved to Ohio, it was near the top of the list of things to plant. Over a dozen Peonies later and I may be out of room. Although, when I find one on sale, I can't resist it and I managed to wedge two more into my garden last year (Casper and Cora Louise). Although I'd be better served being more selective. I've been thinking about removing the first one I planted - Dr. Alexander Fleming. This pic shows my first tree Peony (Houki) and JM Geisha Gone Crazy. I also found a Mountain Laurel (Kalmia) last year on sale which promptly went into a Hosta bed and even managed to bloom for me. and these Dodecatheon manage to survive under my large Maple trees. I've bought from Mr. Maple before. Strange packing for 2 trees. Maplestone had better packing the one year I couldn't find time to drive there. I have trouble keeping Heuchera alive, so I consider them multi-annuals. I also lost a Fire Alarm after only one year. I think it's a finicky one. I've had much better luck with Carnival Watermelon, so I've gotten a couple more of those. I've bought around 30 different ones, and I couldn't tell you how many I've lost, but they stick around long enough to keep me happy. Lucky for me there's a place here that sells 4" pots for ~$4. Electric Plum and Carnival Rose Granita I loved Sweet Princess while she was here. Silver Scrolls (shown in my previous post) is a survivor. And Caramel and Blondie have been with me for 5 years now. (In their 1st year)...See MoreHosta Yellow 2022 ............................
Comments (27)Pieter that one i sent to mark zillis lab 3 years ago, so solberg is selling it now its 'light the match' high priced the first year. i don't get any royalties on those. it has the substance of subcrocea so it will bleach. it works best in a pot which would be good for you. the os in the ground hasn't liked the 2 years of drought we've had so it has shrunk to half size. i relocated it. so i'm hoping it bounces back this year....See More

Diamond Lake- suffered from having pots on top in the spring. It was only until I was really looking for my Diamond Lake that I discovered it with the pips already all squished, I was for sure saying that it was a goner. I need to plant it in the ground next season.

I have been bringing this Dream Queen back to life for 5 years, finally looking good. The rabbits found it last season and chewed off every leaf…….argh. The last hosta that got the rabbit treatment here has not been the same since……I hate rabbits……
My new Shadowland Diamond Lake, I love it as much as Nicholsworth! wasnt sure if I should put this one in the D or S category, picked D.Sherry

Beth what a great collection you have starting with the A's right up to D. I have Drop Dead Gorgeous coming in spring, good to know you are happy with yours.
hosta_maker Daylight is fabulous.
Ann I have been admiring your Diamond Lake for 2-3 years now. Nice to see others getting it.
indianagirl your Dragon Tails is wonderful.
Shadow nice DR. I must get mine planted.
Sherry I remember well your saga with Dream Queen. Rotten rabbits. My problem is deer. I have to spray every 2 weeks with Bobbex or I would have nothing to show. Another lovely DL.
ETA: Nice Gary. Your pics were not there when I posted.
Dancing Queen
Deja Blu late season.
Dinner Mint. I hardly took any pics this year, too busy preparing for DD's wedding and yet I have over a dozen of DM. Such a performer.
Dixie Chick. I really have to get the Dixie Chick Green separated out. Nice when you get a twofer.
Dream Boat. Looking forward to it maturing.
Dream Queen from last year. Apparently I did not get a pic this year.

Have no idea how this got here! I swear I planted a ”Wishing Well” here quite a while back. That died and a year later this grew. Clearly not WW.

Another cool color combo that varies from the early more yellow edges.Dark Shadows. (I need a Blue Shadows to go with it).
Dawes still needs another year or two to strut its stuff.
