    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.
