    Purchased this one decades ago - didn't last long in my garden as I threw it away. Records show that it had Pollock's Pucker.
  • Talking about Hosta 'Joby', ViolaAnn wrote:
    Hosta 'Joby' is a 2010 seedling from Hosta 'Déja Blu'. I had regarded it a very nice blue seedling but didn't have any plans to register it until a friend lost her husband. I showed her several seedlings that might be named in his honour, and this is the one she chose, saying that they both liked blue. 'Joby' was his nickname. My plant is smaller than it was because it has been divided to share with several friends.

    Silver Shadow has lavender flowers.

    According to Mark Zilis in his wonderful Hosta Handbook, this cultivar, with its unusually splotched early foliage, is either "one of the most beautiful hostas ever developed or something that induces itching"
    The splotching "is not caused by a virus but is a genetic trait". There are in fact a couple of seedlings that exhibit this characteristic.
    Cynthia changes to all green after a few weeks
