 A must-have
hosta, its only drawback is its SLOOOOW growth rate! We’ve let it cook a
little longer here so that you’ll get a little head start—it really is
fantastic and an eye-catcher with heavily corrugated, intensely-colored
foliage of a mix of gold, chartreuse, blue and green with a blue-green
margin. This hosta just gets better as it ages! Near-white flowers are
produced in mid-June through July. |

| ‘Vanilla Cream’
| 4” ht x 10” w
| Jumbo Sq.
| $7.00 |
| A great teeny-weeny with heart
shaped leaves that are a very odd color—kind of a cross between yellow,
parchment, and almost a light olive. A definite Contrary kind of hosta! |
| ‘Venusta’
|
7” ht x 30” w
| Jumbo Sq.
| $5.00 |
 Our honorary Arnold Schwarzenegger hosta (hosta
venusta, baby!!), she’s a cute tiny mound of tear-shaped medium green leaves;

in spring a bright yellow with dark green margins. The center eventually
darkens but some turn chartreuse, others a light apple green. Eventually, the
center is lighter that the edges, both sporting shades of green. Light

Species Hostas |

| 12” ht x 18” w
| #1
| $7.00 |
| This species hosta has lance
shaped, very shiny dark green foliage and very light lavender flowers. |
| Hosta rectifolia ‘Kinbuchi
Tachi’
| 23” ht x 32” w
| #1
| $17.00 |
| A striking hosta with very
shiny, elliptic-shaped foliage that has a very dark green center and a very
wide, yellow to creamy white margin. Forms a semi-upright mound and has
unusual bright purple flowers late (August into September). |
| Hosta rupifraga
| 8” ht x 12” w
| #1
| $12.00 |
| Another species hosta and one
of my faves for years, it has a very distinctive smooth, shiny green leaf and
purple striped flowers. Interesting note—this Hosta is very rare in its
natural habitat which is an island south of Tokyo, and was limited to an area
of less than one acre…what a survivor! VERY limited! |
| Hosta yingeri
| Ranges from 9-19” ht x 30-38”
w
| #1
| $11.00 |
| A species hosta which accounts
for the range of sizes, it has very shiny, very smooth, very dark green
foliage that is wavy and distinctive. Very unusual “spider” pale purple
flowers. |
| Hypoleuca
| 13” ht x 22” w
| #1
| $15.00 |
| Another species hosta, this
one has very distinctive and unusual yellowish green leaves with a waxy white
underside. Interesting note—this was because in the wild they are found
growing on sunny, south facing canyon walls, clinging to rock ledges. The
white undercoating on the leaves and petioles was an adaptation to protect
against the intense summer heat (clever hosta!). Generally, they grow few but
very large leaves that spread horizontally, and have white flowers. Very
limited supply! |
| Ventricosa ‘Aureomaculata’
| 15” ht x 24” w
| #1
| $10.00 |

shiny leaved plant that starts out with a light center in spring, gradually

| #1
| $10.00 |

bell-shaped, bright purple striped flowers in July—A CLASSIC. |
