Pls, help me to id my 4 y.o. hosta. I checked all hostas with green leaves in HostaRegistrar.org and in hostalibrary, but i didn't found it. It 4 y.o., Plant Width- 150sm (59in), Leaf Color Center- (59in), Leaf Color- medium (may be almost dark)green , without Margin, Leaf Length 25 sm(9,84in), Leaf Width 18sm(7 in). But we live in cold place and i think, that my hosta in warm regions and 7 y.o. has other (bigger) sizes. So my Krossa Regal 5 y.o. is considerably less than in HostaRegistrar.org
Flower Color- is lavender. Bloom Period- middle of July (such as Krossa Regal' and Eleganse')

I'd say Hyacynthina or a Fortunei type.

RE: Pils, Id my hosta

Thank you very much for answers. I did n't think that my hosta on the previuos foto is Honeybells. Honeybells is appple green color and its Growth Rate is less
Right hosta in foto is Honeybells 5 y.o.:

I think that left hosta (also 5 y.o.)is Hyacynthina. Its Growth Rate such as Honeybells'. But may be Mctavish6 is right, Hyacynthina is in upper foto.
Thank you for your help!

And may be and not Hyacynthina. In accordance with russian information about Hyacynthina, its Plant Width is 100cm only (40 in)

I think they're both Hyacinthina. This variety is well known for a wide range of variation. Neither of them is Honeybells, which has a smooth, softly rippled leaf and fragrant flowers.

Both- medium size with dark leaves(#1) and large size with dark leaves (#2) or second it is medium size with appple green leaves (#3)?

Hi 'v71nat'! Welcome to the hosta forum! Is there another name we can address you by?

My husband and I just met two young girls from Russia, last week, while on vacation--who have only been
in the states for 4 months. They were running a gift shop in Gatlinburg, Tennesee, selling handbags! They were
delightful, and a bit shy, yet!:o)

I agree with the others, definitely 'Hyacinthia'! I love mine, and it can be a variety of colors, determined by
sun exposures!

Have they all bloomed about the same time and had the same colors in blooming?


 o
RE: Pils, Id my hosta

Yes, they are. But #3 (with more lighter leaves) have more lighter color in blooming


 o
RE: Pils, Id my hosta

Yes, they are. But #3 (it's leaves are lighter) in blooming is lighter too.
