Well, Fourtunei or Undulata, I really don't know. None of the plants are very large, the leaves are not huge, but not tiny, they do have a little gloss to them but not what I would call shiny. The plants do tend to have a somewhat upright appearance to them, they don't lay down flat exactly. That is all that was on the tag when I bought the plants, what would you say it looks like?
Would you believe all those tiny little gift plants are over seven years old? They were in the bed when my neighbor moved in over seven years ago, don't know how long they were there before.
Could have been seven more years. That is why she gave them to me. When I dug them up I found the problem, fabric weed barrier. It had prevented the roots from going over a quarter inch deep, and had kept any new growth from breaking though the barrier, it was 4 layers think in places.
I am really looking forward to seeing how much they grow over the next year. I hope to be able to return some hostas to my neighbor much larger than when I got them.
Thanks for all the info.
