IMHO Blue Ivory
Comments (2)It's nice, but it's not as good as Great Escape. Take a look at the pictures in this thread linked below. Look at the pics that UK did of both BI and Great Escape. Tell me what you think. Let me suggest that you grow both of them. I have a trio of Blue Ivory, Great Escape and El Nino (no pics, they're not leafed out yet.)

Comments (9)All of those pics are so beautiful! I love them all! Actually, I do have Autumn Frost new this year! LOL! I am still 50/50 with Blue Ivory and El Nino, which means I am probably going to get stuck buying both of them. Oh, and then there is Great Escape, that I forgot to mention in this! LOL! Great Escape seems to have the same wider white boarder that I like with Blue Ivory. Anyone grow this one? So now with Great Escape, that is 3 I have to now decide with! If I did not have a husband to complain, I would just buy all 3 and be done with it!LOL! Christy...See MoreEl Nino and Blue Ivory in December
Comments (16)Babka, I like the part where you say you move about 20 pots out on the deck in March and that you can see them all the time. The hostas are so beautiful at that time. It would be a bonus to be able to see them "grow" before your very eyes! I am also curious about your outdoor deck. My husband just finished ours, but it hasn't been stained or painted. Is yours painted? Do you like it? Also, I have never thought of bringing a hosta pot indoors to force it to begin growing early. Sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll try to find some threads that talk about this. I am in zone 6 (Canada), but considered zone 5 in USDA terms. My hostas begin to grow in late April. Last year I had pots in my unheated garage. When they started to grow, I had to take them outside. We had a lot of nights of frost, so some went back into the garage and some were covered with one of my 6 garbage pails. I have way too many now and 6 garbage pails are no way near enough....See MoreAnyone have Blue Ivory?
Comments (17)One of its sports, 'Ivory Queen' emerged for the first time and it is pretty and mysterious with the cream center showing a bit of colour. This sport also took on a bit of that misted green as its mama does. Going to be fun following that one and maybe I will be content just having it. Would love a BI but ... (Love the colour of Blue Ivory-always gets me.)...See MoreBen D (zone 7b)
