Just curious on what everyone is dreaming about. I don't have a large collection of hosta so many of mine may seem older. I would like to add a few mini and ck out creative ways to display them.

My guess is Undulata Univittata, which for many years was the most frequently planted white centered hosta. Historically popular.....

Rose, that's a nice list. Love the 'Prairie Moon', great color! .. if you don't mind mail order then try http://www.contrarymarysplants... they have it!.. So does http://www.countryboygardens.c... but theirs are real small, I think a one year plant for $6.00.

Good morning, Susan
That is a pretty one! I like all the white in it. It brighten up a spot. Do you plant coleus with your hosta?
Does this one burn badly? LMK

For some reason I never have any luck with coleus. All I have to do is look at it and it dies! Grumbling

*Blush* (oh, good morning!) This Hosta looked good all season, got a little morning sun which gave it the light color. Green Grin!
