Look what I found today while organizing my potted plants!

Purple Flash

Looks happy and I see a bit of purple is showing. Let us know if it starts showing more I want one that shows some purple and so far Blushing Blue is not really shown any Aquamarine has a nice purple edging to it but nothing really in the middle of leaf so far.

First Blush coloring up

Holar Purple Flash, starting to see the edges turn blue


When I saw it today I remember what happened, it needs a little more shade than it gets now, it did great until late summer and the sun just fried it.

Another bluish hosta with red legs you might like is Evening Blush, it takes about 4 years to come into its own.

Bob, with whom? When the plants come in could you post a pic here. There can be a huge difference in size.

If you like uprights look at tenryu, ,krossa regal And regal splendor

I ordered from Naylor Creek, my past orders have been nice.

Well the pictures are great and the plants are interesting but
I see no blooms so I gather these are a foliage plant.
Still wondering how they do with heat and humidity.

Hostas are known primarily as a foliage plant, however they do bloom, some of which are fragrant, the foliage will also have subtle color changes thought the year. Some breeders are also concentrating on the flowers.

@Willinator see if this helps. https://www.plantdelights.com/...
I am sure they would have to have full shade by you and would have to watch watering. The main thing is does your area have 30 days that are cold enough cold days.

The one that looks real interesting to me is Hosta plantaginea 'Ming's Treasure'
I like the look of the white blooms and the foliage. I guess all of them will
bloom. and the website has lots of warm weather hostas. Now if they are required
to have cold days during the year? How cold and how many? Houston does on occasion
get some freezing days during a year, principally in January and early February

Volunteer hosta

I throw out most of the seedlings, but I will keep the yellows!

All my Hosta look very sad right now, we had snow last night and on and off today and most plants look damaged. Also wind chills were in the low 20's and very windy. Hope they recover most had just opened up in the last week,

These early summer like temps brought my plants out of dormancy too early. I only saw a few mushy leaves yesterday from the cold evening temps. Down to 34• tonight, so may have more damage.

Here's a few from yesterday. Well, maybe more than a few!

I meant to ask, does anybody remember where CitySylvia was from? She lived in Texas and grew Hostas. I think she was even featured in a magazine.

Some Hosta pics early in the season, I like how the form and color changes.
