It is a very sturdy little plant that grows very well. $20.00	Photo Budd Gardens
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. Old clumps should easily surpass the 9' record of its parent H. 'Sum and Substance'. This sport of H. '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.

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.

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	Photo Mike Koller Photos of Hosta 'Totally Awesome'
