I'm new to hostas and last year bought 4 (Whirlwind, Sagae, August Lily and Blue Cadet)which I kept in pots all winter(sunk the pots in the ground) and last month transplanted them to their new garden spot.
I have a question on Blue Cadet. I noticed the "pips" are emerging as a very dark color, perhaps you'd call it purplish/blueish. Is this typical?
The Sagae came up but the pips are not that color so wondering if this is suppose to happen?

The color can vary....its normal....green to almost black.

Thanks Paul. I was a bit worried but glad to know it is normal.
