Hosta IDs #4

10 years ago

Looking to ID several groups of hostas. Tags are gone and so is my mind after several hard years. :)
Some possibilities for some of the the ones I'll be listing that are more unusual are below. Not an exhaustive list...I just know that some of these I've planted in this bed are from these orders. I also did a fairly big order from Foxfire Nursery but can't find the list....just going by memory. NICE. lol

#1 is Mississippi Delta #4 could be On Stage, but I'm not sure what makes it green up so much (I've seen it happen though)

Yay! #1 is ID'd.

O.S. was in a LOT of shade....under a tree and literally covered by a bigger hosta. Maybe it smokes when I'm not looking. Who knows. ROFL

#1= Mississippi Delta. I describe it as broad, flat, and green....just like the real Delta. Think that's what this is.

#2 = If it is Hill's Sporty, why not send your photo to Hosta Library, they only have one picture and it is of a young plant. The correct way to do that is posted on the forum somewhere.

#3 = Stained Glass....that's what it looks like to me. I look through fragrant-flowered glasses though.....:)

#4 = On Stage best option. It is getting darker in the middle early compared to mine, but the leaf shape is right, so is the dark strips.

#5 = Glory? How old is your plant? I notice it has a bit of purple spotted petioles part way up, and it is a yellow green.
My Old Faithful has the same coloring on its petioles, but if you don't have it, then oops....but it is an Olga hosta...and it can go into the golden leafed range.
