 |
ELEGANS | XL | Arends '87. This is a classic seen everywhere. Although it's listed as large, within six years here it clumps to exceed 5 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall. The large blue-green leaves are prominently blue in spring and the deep veins are noticeable. Early July sun will green up the leaves just after the white flowers bloom so place in filtered light. The scapes are held quite close to the leaves which is perhaps the only disadvantage. Often misnamed sieboldiana 'Elegans' but that's another story. Couple nice ones in the display garden. | $12.75 | |

Olive Bailey Langdon is a nice substitute. | $12.75 |

|
 |
GINKO CRAIG |
S |
Here's a good story from the Hosta Library: "This plant was originally purchased at a Japanese flower market as an unnamed plant by Craig. He gave it to Alex Summers who named it for Craig's wife Ginko. It is assumed to be a wild collected sport of sieboldii." For years George thought this was a miniature hosta. Dark green leaves with narrow white margins and dark lavender flowers. Had one in a garden, then garden got weedy and we forgot it was there for a few years. When he found it again, now in the mature form, it had much wider leaves +12" long with more prominent white and many leaf tears. Keeping it small is better. |

Banyai '76. One of the most popular of the older hostas. Gold with dark green, irregular edge. A rapid grower which does best in half day sun. Leaf color from dark green to almost yellow depending on placement. Lots of possibilities as a result. Eventually 4.5' across. 32 " tall. | $10.50 |
|
 |
GOLDEN CROWN |
M |
Fortunei aureomarginata. Fast growing, medium green leaves with wide white margins. Pale lavender flowers in late July.Good for mass planting in big swaths. One thing not to do: George planted some at the base of some Alberta Spruces. The hosta grew faster than the spruces and killed off the bottom branches of the spruce. Guess the hosta will be there for a long time. | $10.50 |
|
 |
GOLDEN SCEPTER |
