'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.

'Wishing Well' NEW 2013 (Don Dean)
LARGE 23" high by 38" wide.
This large hosta is prized for holding its beautiful blue color long
into the season, even when planted in 2/3 day of sun. Its huge leaves
emerge slowly, exhibiting a unique cupped, rippled, corrugated
texture. They unfold slowly as they mature. Since they are of thick
substance, the leaves are more slug resistant. This large hosta has a
good growth rate compared to some other large blues. Near-white
flowers begin to appear in midsummer and last into late summer. $20.00 |
