sport or not

19 years ago

This is a division of H 'Sagae' that is sending out something different. It looks bad because I used a spade (not the best) to divide it from the original plant.

I'm actually trying to get this big all yellow ÂSagaeÂ, which is probably not unusual, but I want something big and yellow.

Notice the all yellow leaves and the leaves that are half yellow and half green. Don't know if you can see but the yellow or green do not go over the center vein. They will probably never make any type of sport but I'm going to "Zumberize" and play with it for a couple of years in a pot.

If others have experience with this half one color and half another please jump in especially if you have a method of getting anything from this type of sport? I never have and when I leave them alone they eventually revert or go all yellow or green.

I've seen this before, but the following year, the plant usually reverts back to it's old self. It would be cool if it stayed that way.

Lainey, search Rossing or Zumberizing. If you excise the eye it will usually stay as you see it. Notice I said usually because the reason for the difference is it is not stable and of course all hosta are more or less stable.

All hosta are trying to become green and left alone they will all be green somewhere in the future. They may go through yellows and blues before they finally become green.
