Sister Act, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:43:00 +0000

This sport of ‘Step Sister’ has the same habit and performance as the parent but with very wide green margins. Good vigor and garden performance. Near white flowers in early to midsummer.

Mini Skirt, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:37 +0000

This petite and flirty hosta forms a miniature mound of very wavy, thick, blue-green leaves with creamy yellow margins in spring. In summer, the center turns more green and the edge lightens to creamy white. Pale lavender flowers with deeper purple stripes appear closely packed together on short, very proportionately sized scapes in early to midsummer. Show this cute mini hosta off in troughs and other patio containers with good drainage, or plant it right near the edge of the border where it’s sure to be seen.

Waterslide, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:25 +0000

With the addition of this beautiful blue Hosta, the color range of the SHADOWLAND® collection is now well-rounded. ‘Waterslide’ has wavy, ruffled leaves with heavy substance. The blue, rippled leaves look like water splashing in the shade garden, and hold their blue color well into the summer season. Lavender flowers appear on proportionate flower scapes in late summer. This medium-sized hosta is a perfect companion to ‘Wheee!’ and suitable for landscapes and containers alike.

School Mouse, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:21 +0000

This sport of ‘Church Mouse’ shares all the same great features as its parent but possesses a clearly defined yellow margin. Thick, coarsely wavy leaves have blue-green to green centers and creamy yellow margins that holds its color fairly consistently throughout the season. Proportionate scapes carry lavender flowers in early summer.

Beyond Glory, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:19 +0000

This sport of ‘Old Glory’ goes above and beyond its parent with its attractive, very wide, dark green margins. The margins measure about 3” at the widest point, more than twice the width than those of ‘Old Glory’. Pale lavender flowers appear above the clump in midsummer.

Royal Wedding, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:42:05 +0000

This prestigious wide-margined sport of ‘Diana Remembered’ will delight you with its sweetly perfumed, large 3-4in , pure white flowers in mid to late summer. Be sure to plant it near a patio or pathway where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close. This is a medium sized hosta that grows quickly to form an upright mound of thick, shiny green leaves with very wide, creamy white margins which brighten to pure white.

June Spirit, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:41:59 +0000

This hosta forms a distinctive mound of shiny leaves with wide, deep green margins and chartreuse centers that turn yellow in summer if planted in part sun. Lavender blue flowers appear on chartreuse scapes in mid to late summer. Try growing this medium sized hosta in patio containers or near the front of the border.

Island Breeze, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:41:59 +0000

First came ‘Fire Island’ which was followed by its variegated progeny ‘Paradise Island’. This year, we are excited to introduce ‘Island Breeze’ which is the third member of this “tropicalin family and a sport of ‘Paradise Island’. The improvements in this cultivar include more impressive variegation due to its wider margins, thicker leaf substance, and a strong growth rate. Wide, dark green margins stand in sharp contrast to the bright yellow centers in early spring. As summer approaches, the centers become more chartreuse when plants are grown in heavier shade or lighter yellow if they are grown in more sun. Like ‘Paradise Island’, this one also has showy red speckled petioles that bleed up into the leaves. Dark lavender flowers appear on reddish green scapes in midsummer.

Deja Blu, Hosta

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:41:55 +0000

A sport of ‘Blue Boy’. Blue-green leaves with a cream lightning bolt that dances between the center of the leaf and the yellow margin. Light lavender flowers are produced on 18-20in scapes in early to midsummer.
