Now More than 50 Hosta Varieties in My Garden

My blog entry listing the varieties in my hosta collection has been updated to add the seven new cultivars that I have acquired in my current trip to Ohio and Pennsylvania, which has included attending the 2011 Fall Hosta Forum.


The new additions are --

H. 'Appletini' (registered miniature-leaved)

H. 'Curly Fries' (registered miniature-leaved)

H. 'Hideout' (registered miniature-leaved)

H. 'Hush Puppie' (registered miniature-leaved)

H. 'Little Stiffy' (unregistered miniature-leaved)

H. 'Pineapple Upsidedown Cake' (registered medium-leaved)

H. 'Swamp Thing' (registered medium-leaved)

Plus a very nice specimen of H. 'Popo' that I will give away to a friend.


And the trip isn't over yet!  lol


(Update. 9/18/2011 at 4:30 p.m.) Three more to add from a stop at Cahoon Nursery in Westlake, Ohio:

H. 'Cody' (registered miniature)

H. 'Tiny Tears' (registered miniature)

H. venusta (registered miniature species)

(Update. 9/20/2011 at 3:45 a.m.) There would have been even  more but I held off on stopping at Wade and Gatton Nurseries at Bellville, OH (just off Interstate 71), on the way home yesterday afternoon because of the constant rain and fog that I was experiencing. Tonight is the Hostas of Kentuckiana plant swap and reduced price sale, so never fear the collection will keep right on growing!


(Update. 9/21/2011 at 8:45 p.m.) Four more to add from yesterday evening's HOK plant swap and reduced-price plant sale:

H. 'Big Daddy' (registered large-leaved)

H. 'Fragrant Bouquet' (registered small-leaved)

H. 'Limey Lisa' (registered miniature-leaved)

H. 'Masquerade' (registered miniature-leaved)

Also picked up a Helleborus orientalis (Lenten rose) seedling, my first hellebore.
