Orders for 2021 in the Hostas forum

Northern NJ (Zone 7a)

Lemon Kiss is very cute! I don't think I ever saw a hosta that have a red blush and actually do show it with out looking under the leaves.
I went a little overboard on my hosta order. I wanted to get Blue Ivory even though I've heard it isn't too vigorous. Then there are a few others that I never see for sale here. I got stuck on the patterns with a center stripe this year.
Autumn Frost
Blue Ivory
Liberty
Grandprize
Lakeside Spellbinder
Luna Moth
Manhatten
Striptease
Venus
White Feathers
Wiggles and Squiggles

I almost placed a second order but I resisted. So far.

Looks like a great line up! First Blush will show darkish red on its leaves, without looking under!

You picked a lot of nice ones. They are coming up with ones showing much more red and purple lately.

I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Maybe I'll adjust my order from at least one blushed selection

I've added a few more to my list

I'm not sure if I'll get any of them. They're part of a coop order, so it depends on availability.
Hope Springs Eternal
Party Streamers
Terms of Endearment
Time In A Bottle
Sister Act
Twin Cities

When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.

I think I am going to hold off on anything else till I see what comes up, unless I see one of the ones I have been looking for for a couple of years.

Gardening-Bulb and Plant Co-op moved from yahoo to Facebook several years ago. I just kinda tagged along

I'm adding more from Holland Bulb, they sent me good hostas. I ordered Patriot Hosta from American Meadows, they sent me tiny root and tiny lavender pots. So I ordered 2 more from Holland Bulb Farms, Color Festival and Mediovariegata Hosta. I need some white to match my astilbe.

I don't know if I have, I have to look up my list. I thought this looks a bit blue when I ordered it. But that's it.
