Hosta 'Titanic' (H. Hansen/Shady Oaks Nursery, 1999) GIANT (30" high by 72" wide.) This is a very large plant, four to five feet across once it matures. It has a solid green center with a real wide gold band around it. With a name like H. 'Titanic', you can imagine how big this hosta will become.

'Sum and Substance' boasts a very wide golden border surrounding the glossy chartreuse-green center, even when young. It is far more dramatic than the first-introduced edged forms of H. 'Sum and Substance". This should only be planted where space is not a problem. The clumps are topped with large light lavender flowers in midsummer. Sun tolerant. Slug resistant.

Hosta 'Tonque Twister' (Solberg 2008) (‘Iwa’ X ‘Blue Blush’ o. p.) DWARF (8" high by 18" wide.) With its dark green leaves that twist upward out of the clump, this great little hosta looks as fresh in October as it does in May. It has great substance, rich color, and is cute to boot. The light purple scapes produce light lavender flowers in September and light purple pods in October. Best “long season” hosta, still green in late October!
$18.00

Hosta 'Totally Awe Sum' (Koller) NEW 2013 MEDIUM (16" high by 18" wide). This hot new sport of ‘Sum and Substance’ is totally unlike anything you have in your collection. Described as a “perplexing permutation”, each leaf of this hosta is a little different, a work of art indeed. Several shades of green, gold and white appear on the dramatically twisted, curled, folded, and corrugated leaves. White streaks near the center of the leaves appear to have been painted on with watercolors. Pale lavender flowers appear in mid to late summer. ‘Totally Awe Sum’ looks nothing like its parent and is a much smaller plant that shows off its totally unique characteristics best in a container.
$22.00

Hosta 'Tropical Dancer' MEDIUM (14" high by 36" wide.) This sport of ‘Spring Fling’ puts on a much showier performance in the landscape with its wider, pie crusted margin. The heart-shaped, green leaves display creamy white margins which brighten to white later in the season. The plant forms a broad mound and is a strong grower in the garden. Strong, upright scapes carry the lavender flowers in early thru midsummer.
