Goodness those are lovely @greenlove 😊... do you have the name of the one in the 6th photo down, at the far end of the trough? It’s particularly gorgeous 😊
Thank you Dove. 6 years of caring for them has paid off. That's the Kiwi Full Monty.
And the two smaller ones in the twelfth pic down. They’re really lovely too ...
The smaller one is Gypsy Rose and the other one is June.
My favourites though are:
Devon Green (the front one, 11 pictures down) beautiful shiny leaves, really graceful.
Blue Mouse Ears (4th picture down, wrongly labelled Lime Fizz) a small beauty which I think would make a lovely "carpet" underneath the big hostas if planted in the ground.
Snowden (the large one 11 pictures down) is a large hosta with leaves that grow at the end of long stems, very upright and resemble very much the leaves of calla lilies. It has the most beautiful flower out of all of them. The flowers look like white lillies and are quite large too. When i first got it, it sprouted just one stem with several leaves and topped by a beautiful flower. I almost did not believe that it was a hosta when i saw the flower.
unless I saw them both together, I'd not swear to one over the other. Kiwi is said to be more blue, I'm not convinced, lol
I agree, they are very diffcult to identify. I am only going based on the labels that were included with them. At the time i bought 2 packs of 20 (mixed surprise) from Bowdens and they sent them as roots in plastic bags with labels).
