Lovely! Thanks for sharing the photos and info!
Most of my hostas are young and I haven't figured out if the damage that I've seen is from slugs, earwigs perhaps, other insects... or all of the above. Some of my hostas that seemed okay in August, turned into choice greens for some critters by September. Oddly, my new Patriot seemed to have the worst damage by the end of the season--maybe due to its location or maybe it was just tender its first year?
Here are the ones that had the least damage in my garden by August/September:
Dixie Chick - August 14 - It looked the same as of September 18--just the photo was blurry. I believe I received it last spring as a bonus plant from Floral & Hardy.
Krossa Regal - September 18 - It had just a few nibblies.
Little Miss Magic - August 14 - Another new one for me that looked the same as of September 18--just the photo was rather dark. It had minimal nibbling in an overgrown part of the garden--I think I had to remove some other hosta's leaves to take its picture!
Little Treasure - August 14 & September 18 - From little/no damage (mostly tree litter on the leaves in the first pic) to some minor nibbles.
Love Pat - September 18
Paradise Glory - July 21 - Another newbie that I didn't take any photos of later for some reason, but I remember that it looked good at the end of the season.
Sweet Innocence - August 14 & September 18 - From little/no damage to munched, but I suppose by then the ferns are looking nasty anyway! The brunnera next to it looked like it was feasted on well before this hosta too.
Touch of Class - September 18 - The nibbled green leaves at the top are from a noid that I need to move.
