What is not love in the June family hosta. They grow so quickly and keep their color through the season , always gets attention from people that visit and new to hosta. I love your Stand by Me and have to get me one .

This is my "Touch of Class" to go with your June family pictures

I LOVE June so I'll be watching this thread closely! My little lady has lots of yellow right now.

I have her near a noID hosta (my own fault - wah!) that at least while young is perfectly the reverse of June's coloring, with just slightly larger leaves. I love the combo so much, I only wish I could give a name to it. It looks something like Autumn Frost.

I just realized for the first time that I might actually be running out of room for new Hosta! Awww but this one is so nice.....and it's smaller. Ok I can still have a wish list! I do have June Fever and Ripple Effect

I remember writing a rant in 1998 when Paul's Glory was selected hosta of the year for 1999... to all and sundry... how in the heck could PG be hosta of the year when June is so obviously the better plant. Then Sagae got HOTY 2000 and I continued to be upset. The hosta growers finally caught up... June was HOTY in 2001.

It didn't take long for June to race up to the top of the popularity poll... trading 1st and 2nd placed back and forth with Sagae.

Interesting that with the many thousands of releases since, that those two "oldies" continue to be at the top of the popularity list.

I've grown pretty much all the older members of the Halcyon family... so including the siblings and cousins, there is one... only one... that I've had no luck with...

Silver Scrolls... dark green, thin white margin... should be as vigorous as Devon Green... just doesn't grow for me... like its permanently dwarfed. Quite the disappointment.

Not sure where my picture of touch of class went but here it is again..
