HOSTA ‘June’ $17.95 16” x 37” Medium v Pointed, oval leaves with wide, streaked, blue-green margins and chartreuse centres in spring which turn golden by summer. Thick substance.

HOSTA ‘Key West’ $19.95 28” x 40” Large Very large bright gold, smooth heart-shaped leaves on this extra-large hosta. Bright filtered shade draws out the most intense colouration.

HOSTA ‘Kiwi Full Monte’ 24” x 40” Large $16.95 A sport of ‘Striptease’, this has been on my own personal wish list for a long time. The leaves emerge chartreuse in the centre with a powdery blue margin separated by a thin white strip. The blue colour lasts for a long time while the centre brightens to yellow, making this hosta really stand out in the garden. Fast growth rate, with excellent vigour, notable substance and slug resistance. Lavender flowers. Photo courtesy Walters Gardens, Inc. HOSTA ‘Komodo Dragon’ 30” x 5’-6’ Giant $12.95 Forms a giant, vase-shaped, cascading mound of neatly rippled, deep green foliage. It is a rapid grower with excellent substance and some corrugation. This giant hosta needs some room, but is worth every inch of garden space it commands. A beautiful specimen. Light lavender tubular flowers in midsummer.
